ID Request - Little info but a strange mushroom

Habitat: The only information I have for this mushroom is that it was growing in a ravine in old growth beech/oak/hemlock forest. It was about two meters from a first-order intermittent tributary in northeast Ohio.
I have never seen anything like it. It was almost gelatinous and gem-studded. Cap was about 2-3 cm across. Underside had very similar texture, no gills. Maybe an ascomycete?
I found it years ago, but was just looking through some old pictures and I wondered about it.
I'm not wondering about the cup fungus in the foreground, but the grey stalked mushroom that almost blends in near the middle.
Thanks!

I was about to say that, then I saw the mushroom he was presumably referring to behind it. God knows what that thing is.

The one in the background appears to be some kind of cup too, maybe a Helvella species.

With an image search of Helvella, Helvella cupuliformis looks promising.
One, two, three licks to the center of a tootsie roll pop? Perhaps we'll never know. I might go back to the site next year just to look for cool fungi. I saw a whole bunch there back in 2010 when this was taken.
