Another larva from fungi, which were from mixed woodland in Bristol. Wondering if anyone could help narrow this down at all - would be much appreciated :)

The photo is the end of a scalpel, so fairly small.

That looks like Platypezidae (Platypeza sp. or other genus). I collected one in an intermittent stream sample this fall. These guys feed between mushroom gills.
