The adults are attracted to the smell of the mycelium. I've rarely had trouble from them, and have never seen them reproduce in a casing, althouth perhaps some others have. Usually, they come from one of your houseplants. Go inspect them by roughing up the soil, while watching for them to fly out.

If they were little black or dark grey/brownish gnats that fly around like they are drunk then you have fungus gnats. Generally these gnats are found in manures, composts and other soils that are not completely sterilized, or have been infected while in storage.

...dont hate the vendor/supplier, as these little bastards are hard as fuck to get rid of when you run a large business (trust me, i know).

..Anyways, these bastards eat fungus (mostly just grey mold and stuff. but when they are in numbers the larva infect the medium and will begin to compete with each other for food. when this happens they will tunnel into the stems of your favgorite fruits, vegetables, and fungus. they are hard to spot (the larva) and look like tiny translucent maggots.

...i dont think that there is any way to get rid of them without hurting your fungus, but if your growing plants try BT, or a product called gnatrol.

good luck

the only way to get rid of the these mother fuckers is to throw everything away and clean like mofo.

I just had to throw out two Atlantis casings that were full of the tiny maggots. Watch out! I'm doing a clean sweep of everything that isn't still in jars.
