growing at moist, drying-out soil at the side of a small puddle - near Cistus species etc.Would not be spore size (without ornament only 16-18 µm) I would not at all hesitate to call this Boudiera areolata.
Do there exist also such small-spored forms?
Best regards, Lothar

Re : Boudiera from Portugal
The spore ornamentation points to B. areolata, but of course this spore size is weird... No idea.

Re : Boudiera from Portugal
Is Boudiera purpurea already excluded?

Re : Boudiera from Portugal
Hello Lieve,
thank you for your proposal. But:
B. purpurea should have an ornament of spines, not a (strong) reticulum. There spores are larger also. B. purpurea is described here:

Re : Boudiera from Portugal
I regard the net-like ornament as an extra layer above the spines. See attachments, in particular part 2, p. 13 or consult the literature Le Gal (see bibliography)
(or online: https://kvmv.be/publicatie/sporen-11-4; https://kvmv.be/publicatie/sporen-11-3. )
Additionally: I have a letter from van Brummelen (1968) confirming a Flemish find of B. purpurea, but no herbarium material is available.

Re : Boudiera from Portugal
Hello Lieve,
thank you very much for the intersting files - I did not knwo this publication(s).
Anyway, I find my spores are too small even for B. purpurea - considered that it can have a reticulate "envelope".
I am also a bit confused by the colour of "your" B. areolata. I found this species (with spores large enough) twice in my life - once in Lower Franconia (my dissertation) and once in the Black Forest, in a "Hochmoor"; both in Germany. Both fimds had a colour similar to my Portuguese find, dark red brown (moist) to almost black (dry). Maybe like this:

Compared with this your areolata looks very deviating in respect to colour.
Best regards, Lothar

Re : Boudiera from Portugal
Thank you for your reply. Yes, the fruiting bodies were very young and light in color. Unfortunately, I did not take an additional macro photo after the fruiting bodies had had two weeks to mature.
Good luck with your find.

Re : Boudiera from Portugal
thank you! Then your pictures show unripe B. areolata? And later the dark color had appeared? This is interesting. In my first find (long ago) I had also first unripe apothecia, but hey were already dark brown.
