Basically the title, are there any fungus-based races, monsters, magics, or powers already established in the megaverse?

There's very little; there's some magic faerie mushrooms mentioned and started, Towershrooms in Rifts England that are big enough to be used as houses. There's also a Rifter article for After the Bomb that has a mutant mushroom person.
I created the Necrothals as a fan-race; they're essentially what look like animated skeletons but are really fungoid beings...
THat's all I can think of.
No Fungi from Yoggoth, I'm afraid.

And the Turning of a Page"

Plant Based stuff:
WB 30: D-Bees of North America (several plant based D-Bee Races)
WB 26: Dinosaur Swamp (has plants)
WB 18: Mystic Russia (Nature Magic)
WB 15: Spirit West (Shamanistic Magic)
WB 8: Japan (millennium tree)
WB 6: South American 1 (Memory Tree and Trees of Wisdom, Bio-mancy)
WB 3: England (plant based magic, Millennium Tree)
DB8: Naruni Wave 2 (Molok Enforcers, plant Race)
DB2: Phase World (has a random Alien Race Table, one option is plant based, the table is also found in Heroes Unlimited)
Rifts Conversion Book 1 Revised (Maxpary has mushrooms, Faerie food has mushrooms)
Rifts Book of Magic (has WB1-21 compiled, might go a bit farther than WB21)

The thing about fungus-based races is that you might not like them,
but they'll grow on you.

Never really explored much the subject, to be honest. Overall i'd go with adapting plant-based stuff and the list suggested by Shadowlogan, with maybe some necromancy-related bits, if one is up to throwing in some "grows/thrives on death/decay/rot" angle into the mix.

Was fungus based a type in aliens unlimited?
The Clones are coming you shall all be replaced, but who is to say you have not been replaced already.
Master of Type-O and the obvios.
Soon my army oc clones and winged-monkies will rule the world but first, must .......
I may debate canon and RAW, but the games I run are highly house ruled. So I am not debating for how I play but about how the system works as written.

The closest thing in HU:AU is the Vegetation type.
(anime trivia: there was a fungus char in the series Final Fantasy Unlimited.)
May you be blessed with the ability to change course when you are off the mark.
Each question should be give the canon answer 1st, then you can proclaim your house rules.
