Hello!
I know this must be a Diptera larva, and I have seen it somewhere already, but I can't remember... :| Found today at the stem (on the surface) of a mushroom in our garden (northwest Germany). Length 6-7 mm.

A Fannia perhaps?

Interesting, thanks! I have searched the forum and found some
Fannia larvae, but those were more hairy. Maybe other species?!

Probably platypezid.

I'd favour
Fannia for this one.

Probably I should have tried to breed this one to the fly... ;) Thanks.
