    This maybe "Attack of the Mushroom People Official Trailer" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWNAX2DlmTI

    Go to the last 10 seconds or so for the good bit.

    https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057295/ "Shipwrecked survivors slowly transform into mushrooms."

    Directed by the guy who did Godzilla.
