Hmm, I'm jealous. I've studied really many opomyzid specimens, but sofar never encountered one with Laboulbeniales on it. Laboulbeniales are fungi that occur on arthropods. More common on Coleoptera than on Diptera.
In this case it most probably is Stigmatomyces geomyzae.
The host in this case is a male of Geomyza tripunctata.
