Yes, it looks like Mycetophila fungorum. To be sure finally you can look at anterior spiracles and find there 6 oval spiracular openings - they are not seen on the photos.:)


Thank you! I'm not sure where I would find the anterior spiracles, somewhere near the head end I imagine.

As more than two weeks have now passed these have probably pupated. Do they go to the ground when pupating? All but one had disappeared the following day when most of the fungi had dried.
