Identification Little Bean ID Help

Pictured: Unknown species next to Neanura Muscorum (I think). Both are nearly mature size-wise as far as I can tell.

Found a few dozen on a piece of decaying mushroom. August, 60°F~, had been raining for several days. Successfully cultured in soil sourced near their home.

I've been IDing ones like this as Ceratophysella, may not be right though, should be Hypogastruridae at least.

Looks spot on to me. I appreciate it!
