I thought I saw some twiggy/woody debris in the photo, and color
reproduction being what is often is (not to mention having no scale), I just
guessed at Chlorosplenium. Its identity is mostly academic anyway...if the
soil's too wet it would need to be corrected foremost. Removing the woody
stuff from a soil would only ensure any "dead-wood-eaters" won't return.
I suggested Peziza cerea, though not with much certainty. Chlorospleniums seem to be green or greenish, and have a stem, so that didn't come to mind.
