The actuality of Mycetophilidae family research has been illustrated in detail. The research includes biology, classification and idenfication, geographical distribution, status of systemic classification and system development.The existed problems and expectation are also explored in the paper. According to the latest information, Mycetophilidae family is composed of 5 subfamilies, i.e , Mycomyinae, Sciophilinae, Gnoristinae, Leiinae and Mycetophilinae. Mycetophilinae includes 2 tribes: Exechiini and Mycetophilini.

The second volume of the Handbook of Identification of fungus gnats of Russia and adjacent areas of the former USSR covers the largest subfamily of fungus gnats - Mycetophilinae which incorporates species developed as larvae mostly in fruiting bodies of basidiomycetes and ascomycetes. A total of more than 550 species are included and illustrated. Practical keys for identifying species are developed. The known data on the distribution and biology of the species with the information of their relationships with different fungal taxa are generalized as well.

During this study, mycophagous species from a number of families were found (Tipulidae, Mycetophilidae, Sciaridae, Cecidomyiidae, Phoridae, Platypezidae, Chloropidae, Drosophilidae); the two most common fly species were Drosophila falleni Wheeler and Leucophenga varia Walker, both Drosophilidae. Less commonly found were Drosophila tripunctata Loew, Drosophila putrida Sturtevant, and Mycodrosophila claytonae Wheeler and Takada. Frequently, several species of Drosophilidae were found cohabiting the same mushroom.

It was hypothesized that a richer diversity would be present at the Kiuic site, which is relatively undisturbed, compared to the Tabi site. The following 17 Dipteran families were recorded for both sites: Tabanidae, Stratiomyidae, Asilidae, Culicidae, Mycetophilidae, Tachinidae, Muscidae, Tipulidae, Anthomyiidae, Bombyliidae, Tanypezidae, Syrphidae, Sciaridae, Pipunculidae, Chironomidae, Dolichopodidae, and Conopidae. The Kiuic site also reported 6 additional families: Phoridae, Heleomyzidae, Bibionidae, Scatopsidae, Scenopinidae, and Mydidae.

Since many of the families individual to the Tabi site are common, these findings were interpreted not to indicate a significant difference in diversity between the two sites.

Stands of different age were investigated in a factorial design with the factors tree species (beech and spruce) and stand age (30 and 120 years). The input of leaf/needle litter did not differ significantly between the study sites. By contrast, the amount of organic matter in upper soil layers (L/F, H/Ah) of spruce forests strongly exceeded that of beech forests particularly in mature stands. The increase in organic matter in spruce stands was not associated by an increase in the amount of microbial biomass. Biomass of eight (bacterivorous, fungivorous and omnivorous nematodes, enchytraeids, earthworms, isopodes, mycetophilid and cecidomyiid Diptera) of the twelve microbi-detritivorous soil animal groups studied was significantly increased in beech forests; only that of one group (elaterid beetles) was increased in spruce forests and three groups did not respond significantly (collembolans, oribatid mites, sciarid Diptera). This indicates that in the forests studied neither habitat space (amount of organic matter in L/F and H/Ah layers) nor the amount of microbial biomass controlled microbi-detritivores. Rather, the quality of litter materials and the concentration of microbial biomass therein appeared to be most important. Herbivores and predators also were favoured by beech: the biomass of one (rhizophagous nematodes) of the three herbivorous groups studied were significantly increased in beech stands and none in spruce stands; the biomass of four (predatory nematodes, centipedes, carabid and cantharid beetles) of the seven carnivorous groups studied were increased in beech stands, none in spruce stands. Generally, the biomass ratio between prey and predators was at a minimum in mature beech and mixed stands indicating more intense top-down control in these forests. Overall, the study documents that replacement of beech by spruce strongly alters the soil food web. Mixed stands were more similar to spruce stands in respect to the biomass of soil animal groups but predator-prey interactions appeared to be more similar in mature beech and mixed stands. Differences between tree species usually were more pronounced in 120 compared to 30 years old stands indicating that the development of stand characteristics is slow.}, keywords = {Angiospermae-, Animalia-; [25102-] Coniferopsida-, Animalia-; [26070-] Fagaceae-, Animalia-; [75202-] Chilopoda-, Animalia-; [75304-] Coleoptera-, Animalia-; [75306-] Collembola-, Animalia-; oribatid-mite (Acarina-): common-; centipede- (Chilopoda-): common-; beetle- (Coleoptera-): common-; carabid- (Coleoptera-): common-; collembolan- (Collembola-): common-; spruce- (Coniferopsida-): common-; Diptera- (Diptera-): higher-taxa; beec, Arthropoda-, Arthropods-, Aschelminthes-, Chelicerata-, Chelicerates-, Dicotyledones-, Environmental-Sciences; [75403-] Acarina-, Gymnospermae-, Helminthes-, Insecta-, Invertebrata-, Invertebrates-; Chilopod, Myriapoda-, Plantae-; [51300-] Nematoda-, Plantae-; [75314-] Diptera-, Spermatophyta-, Terrestrial-Ecology: Ecology-}, author = {Scheu, Stefan and Albers, Derk and Alphei, Joern and Buryn, Romuald and Klages, Ute and Migge, Sonja and Platner, Christian and Salamon, Joerg-Alfred} } @article {22954, title = {Ichneumonid (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) parasitoids of fungus gnats (Diptera: Mycetophilidae): rearing records from the Czech Republic}, journal = {Studia Dipterologica}, volume = {10}, number = {1}, year = {2003}, note = {Article; PrintEnglish}, pages = {153-158}, abstract = {Twenty-one species of Ichneumonidae from the subfamilies Microleptinae and Orthocentrinae were reared from fungi, together with their potential hosts, fungus gnats (Mycetophilidae).

Pupae lie suspended horizontally by an anterior and posterior bracing cord, whereas A. luminosa pupae are suspended vertically by a single cord attached at the thorax.
