No, because types are approximate, and always have been.

It's like when people say that "Dark" is the "Dirty Fighting" type, and not actually related to darkness. It's not true, it captures both. They take whatever move or theme they want to add and give it to the most appropriate type.

"Mushroom" fits best under the common understanding of plant life, even if it's not actually even close to plant life, and so it simply gets put under Grass.

You know what's weirder? The fact that it's called the Grasss type, and there still hasn't been a single Pokémon that IS completely grass. The closest thing we have is Gogoat, because it has Grass Pelt

Eh I feel like bug is a weird thematic fit as well though. If mushrooms aren't plants, and that means they shouldn't be grass, then I think making them bug is weird.

Fungi are a separate in biology kingdom, distinct from plants, animals, and others like protists. Ironically enough, if you had to force them into one of plants/animals, it would be animals, as they are more close related to them than plants.

Classifying fungi as plants is just as accurate as saying bacteria are plants.

Has anyone made a similar chart for Pokemon? I know Egg Groups are a thing, but it would be interesting to see how things could be divvied up.

In any case, Breloom is an animal (kangaroo) with a non animal (mushroom) growing as/out of its head. Now, neither of those are plants. However, you may as well complain that Bulbasaur should not be in with other plants because its base is a dinosaur. Likewise, see
Tropius
Sceptile
Parasect
Torterra
Gogoat, as previously mentioned

Their are comparatively few Grass Pokemon that are solely animated plants. Tangela comes to mind, Jumpluff, Sunflora, etc.

So there are lots of strange fusions already happening.

Doesn't need to do all of those things, even doing one of them while having a vaguely reptilian body is enough. Sure, some dragons are too fat or have tiny wings, or are just fire breathing snakes.

And Draco isn't really a dragon, more like a serpent or some kind of demon. I think Draco was misnamed.

Breloom isn't an actual Mushroom. Just like how Exeggcute isn't an egg or how Klefki isn't an actual Key. Grass types aren't even real (true at least) plants. Most of them are either covered by plant/fungus stuff or have a mixture Plant and Animal cells. Every Pokemon is an animal due to being able to move freely and produce children the way they do.
