I came a cross a Stinkhorn (Phallus impudicus) fungus in the Woods yesterday (foothills of the Dublin Mountains, Ireland). As is typical it had attracted several species of flies which had eaten away the black slimey cap revealing the "honey comb" surface. Can anyone help identify them?

It seems to have an aphrodisiac effect for some species
