Welcome to the forum Ira !

To me I think it is a Phoridae larvae and it shows resemblance with Dohrniphora cornuta as depicted in Smith (1989)...immature stages..., page 188, fig. 239.
or perhaps: Platypezidae.
See Gallery Links ->larva gallery (on the left side of the home page)

Considering the host fungus it's most likely to be Kesselimyia (Platypezidae). See also:
