I think the wordplay was very nice, and feel a bit dense not getting it earlier. I wouldn't call it unfair, but definitely on the hard side. The direct definition was perhaps a little vague. (On the other hand, it could easily have tipped the other way if the definition was too easy.)

One concern may be that...
fungi can be pronounced "fun ji" as well
