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

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
