Difficult to tell without a sample, but it looks very like one of the Hymenostilbe species, possibly Hymenostilbe sphecophila. (You would need to examine it microscopically before attaching this name to the image!)

Thank you very much Tony:). I did not collect the fungus, so unfortunately it won't be possible to identify:(.
