Some time ago I ask Gary why DnD Hobgoblins are nothing like the hobgoblins from mythology. He basically said that he needed a militant humanoid that was tougher than an Orc but weaker than a bugbear. So he wrote up the stats for hobgoblins and slapped the name on them.  As for the phantom fungus, I haven't ever used one, but I have read the description and am familiar with them without looking them up. The main reason I haven't used them is that they don't seem to fit into the campaign very often. Another reason is that they are perhaps a little too alien for my low magic homebrew. But then, so are a lot of other creatures that I don't use very often....  On the other hand, I do occasionally run games in other settings that focus on weird, unusual monsters and abilities and such, and even then I don't use the phantom fungus.... Don't really know why. Maybe I'll add to an upcoming game and see how it goes...</blockquote>
