A decent survival strategy would be to be poisonous and recognizably colored. If you look like any other mushroom, it's just revenge-poisoning. Possibly with the side effect of animals not eating any mushrooms, but that doesn't sound like something that's in a given mushroom species' interest.

Sneaky death mushrooms get to break down the body, potentially

Incredibly poisonous, food-colored, and with spores that can survive/germinate in a digestive tract.
