Fungus Gnat
Fungus gnats are small mosquito-like flies that can be a major pest in mushroom production. These flies are 2-6 mm long and their minute maggots prefer moist environments like compost or other organic material.
The maggots of fungus gnats feed on fungi or organic material and can damage roots or soft plant tissues. While damage caused by the maggots also allow fungal plant diseases to colonise the plants, the flies are more of a nuisance in indoor production systems.
