The purplish things are springtails (collembola). No idea about the lighter things though. |

I'm fairly sure the larvae are Cecidomyiinae - several species feed on fungi, or are predaceous. These might be either.

Very difficult and sometimes impossible to say from photo. They don"t look like Cecidomyiidae. The second larva has something strange in the upper part - possible legs? If not - resembles Platypesidae?? |

Could be Platypezidae, try to make a better photo. Michal
