biochemistry,
botany,
chemistry,
earth science,

Botany. At one time fungus was considered plants. I took several courses in college (shows how old I am) where there were only 2 kingdoms animals and plants and fungus (mushrooms are fungus) were in the plant kingdom.

From among those choices (and this is assuming this is for a Science Fair)
BOTANY
No quetion. Since you mentioned the lack of Photosynthesis, that places this project in the "Plant Science" (better term for Botany) Category. It is not Biochem, Chem, Microbiology or Physics or Earth Science. The only possible thing could be Environmental Science if you were emphasizing the place of Fungi in the Environment. But, since your project is "pure science" (Better in dark than light) it is Biology.
Good luck. One point, make sure that "light vs dark" is the only difference between the two "groups" and that they both have the same temperature, and humidity.

Biochemistry is about the only one that could apply, as I see it.
It's really in it's own category - "mycology", but that's not listed.
