Hey the.medallion.of.roderka, I was wondering if you could take a look at my photo (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/385...) and perhaps suggest what it may be?

That's not a Cyathus, Cyathus has black peridioles (eggs) Crucibulum has white ones.

Thank you staccyh and Jemma! :)
They are really, really tiny, so they can easily stay unspotted ;)
