There are sometimes some Fungi (?), which cause the dead of some flies.
Does anyone knows more about them? I see often a lot of dead Empididae, there are dead Bibionidae killed the same way as well, as you can see in the following:

Are there certain species of Fungi doing this?

Thanks for your help!
