Hello!

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

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

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
