Looks like Chloropidae to me, and I think Oscinellinae!

Thanks, Sara! Chloropidae was one of my options, too. Possibly Tricimba sp.?
Best regards,
Jürgen

Thanks a lot! I did not expect a specific determination after such a long time Smile. We have many mushrooms in our garden.
Best regards,
Jürgen
