Let $F$ be the element $\sum_{n\ \mathit{odd},\ n>0}x^{n^{2}}$ of $Z/2[[x]]$. Set $G=F(x^{5})$, $D=F(x)+F(x^{25})$. For $k>0$, $(k,10)=1$, define $D_{k}$ as follows. $D_{1}=D$, $D_{3}=D^{8}/G$, $D_{7}=D^{2}G$, $D_{9}=D^{4}G$; furthermore $D_{k+10}=G^{2}D_{k}$. Using modular forms of level $\Gamma_{0}(5)$ we show that the space $W$ spanned by the $D_{k}$ is stabilized by the formal Hecke operators $T_{p}:Z/2[[x]]\rightarrow Z/2[[x]]$, $p\ne 2$ or $5$. And we determine the structure of the (completed) shallow Hecke algebra attached to $W$. This algebra proves to be a power series ring in $T_{3}$ and $T_{7}$ with an element of square $0$ adjoined. As Hecke module, $W$ identifies with a certain subquotient of the space of mod~2 modular forms of level $\Gamma_{0}(5)$, and our Hecke algebra result parallels findings in level 1 (by J.-L. Nicolas and J.-P. Serre) and in level $\Gamma_{0}(3)$ by us.
