This is the future we deserve. Everyone wears a ball gown, everyone can fuck anyone who's down. Transhumanist mushroom future is the future we need.
Sign me up for this genre of solarpunk.
Shroompunk? Myceliumpunk?
Imagine the size of their fucking flag.
That's the glorious thing about the rainbow. It contains all (visible) colors. (Obviously the pride flag is limited to stripes of distinct colors, but it's supposed to be representative of everything.)

Just go to any other country. Many countries and cultures historically have a third gender, so bounce around a little and you'll realize how illogical and weird the puritanicals in the states are.
How do they differentiate these mating types and what separate things do they contribute to the life cycle?
From the Wikipedia page:
It has 23,328 distinct mating types. Individuals of any mating type are compatible for mating with most other mating types. There are two genetic loci determining the mating type, locus A with 288 alleles and locus B with 81 alleles. A pair of fungi will only be fertile if they have different A and different B alleles; that is, each mating type can enter fertile pairings with 22,960 others.
Progressive open minded mycologist: "Which of the 23,328 sexes are you?"
Me: "Stop trying to put me in a box!!!" 💃Damn: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schizophyllum_commune?wprov=sfla1 It's true
Real Douglas Adams vibe off this.
And when you fill out a form you get a phonebook full of options to choose from. As a human at least you don't have to specifically define yourself, if you get the option "other".
Real life cognito hazard?
Well, that's one way to enable autogamy; not having both sexes but having thousands of sexes.
I imagine it is awesome for genetic diversity too
Pecan trees are effectivly similar. In order to have pecans you have to have 2 tree that are ready at the same time of the year. Otherwise you get no pecans
