Hello Uta, if the fungus is a Macrolepiota sp. we could be pretty sure, that you are right. But despite that I think female Kesselimyia chandleri is correct - see:
New records of the flat-footed flies (Diptera: Platypezidae) from the Czech Republic and Slovakia - TKOČ, MOCEK, BARTÁK, 2012
Greetings, Eric Kloeckner

Hello Eric,
thank you for your answer and the hint. The heads of the mushrooms were allmost done, but they looked like Parasol mushrooms (Macrolepiota).
Greetings, Uta
