Well, what I found out is that this girl here seems like Mycetagroicus. The guy who helped me sent this url to a scientific article about this species:

I still am not sure if this is her species or not, but I must admit that keeping fungus-growing ants makes me a little anxious. It's my first queen ant, she is already laying eggs and I guess I will have to make some effort to find out what plants I can give them and how to properly care for their gardens and such. I'm pretty happy, though, and I hope her eggs hatch into workers.
