Given what is known of fungi in general, there's no need to investigate it. Fungi and animals can't thrive in extremely low oxygen concentrations. Some species are especially hardy and are able to survive extreme conditions, but none are able to sustain their biological processes without oxygen.

If they exist in the gut they're capable of existing elsewhere. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33193229/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33193229/ The main user of oxygen is the mitochondria, and even some non-anaerobic fungi can survive fine after losing their mitochondria.
