Its definately a member of the Nematocera thats for sure. Fungus midges are in the infraorder Bibionomorpha, which doesnt look like your photo. Not a group im great with so i stand corrected, if anyone else has a better idea. Looks like one of the Chironomidae non-biting midges. |

It is an orthocladine chironomid of which there are many small black species. |

From what I can see of the wing veination it would rule out the winter gnats (Trichoceridae) from the quest, should you be thinking along those lines
