Mycetophilidae is a family of small flies, forming the bulk of those species known as fungus gnats. About 3000 described species are placed in 150 genera, but the true number of species is undoubtedly much higher. They are generally found in the damp habitats favoured by their host fungi and sometimes form dense swarms.
Bolitophila is the sole living genus in the Bolitophilidae, a family of Diptera in the superfamily Sciaroidea, with around 40 Palaearctic and about 20 Nearctic species, and three species from the Oriental region (Taiwan). They are small (6–9 mm).
Diadocidia ferruginosa is a Palearctic species of fungus gnat in the family Mycetophilidae. They live as larvae in long dry silken tubes under bark or in rotten wood and probably feed on fungal mycelia or spores. Also associated with Peniophora.
