Depends very much on the fungus.

On the whole though, yes.

First: much of the decomposition of matter is dealt with by fungi which allows it to enter back into the system, feeding much of the food chain.

Second: many if not most trees (and many other plants, orchids being the best known) enter into a symbiotic relationship with fungi which assists them in gaining nutrition from the soil.

Third: yeast has been a major influence in human culture primarily for it's bread and booze related uses.

Fourth: many early belief systems and spiritual traditions were (and are) linked to fungus based drug use, as is a large proportion of art, literature and music.

Yes, fungi can be beneficial organisms. Some fungi form symbiotic relationships with plants, helping them absorb nutrients from the soil. Additionally, certain fungi are used in the production of food such as cheese and bread.
