Fungus fly
Tapeigaster brunneifrons
-37.8129, 145.253
Field Notes
Description:
This fly has very well developed legs and is seen resting on the caps of two different types of mushrooms. One heavily infested mushroom has larvae that are the possible result of the interest of this type of fly.
Habitat:
I've noticed this several times perched on mushrooms.
Notes:
Tapeigaster brunneifrons is the darkest species, another lighter species is seen here;

The maggots (pic 4 & 5) are not necessarily related to the fly.
