This male which resembles the 'Mycetophila ornata' on commanster
http://www.comman...rnata.html
was attracted to Pleurotus ostreatus
Is there someone who can say something more about this fungus gnath?
Best wishes

I cannot discern any large setae on the tibiae so am I inclined to say this is not Mycetophila. I have no alternative for you based on just this image.

a crop of the picture...., no spurs on tibia I think. Another idea?

Of course tibiae with spurs but large setae along tibiae (like here: http://www.dipter...pid=246780) are absent
