Photographed very recently in a small hill in Zhejiang China. Around 6mm in body length perhaps. Mycetophilidae? Thanks.

Sciaridae.
Wikipedia calls them "眼蕈蚊", with the last two characters being the same as English "fungus gnat". Does anybody in China really use that name?

Great! Thank you for pointing me to Sciaridae! And yes, for sue, the Chinese name "眼蕈蚊" is in common use!
