Apparently in very early evolution animals and fungi shared a common ancestor. That's a pretty far cry from "related to" as its generally used.

Actually, I'd challenge that particular point.
Mushrooms seem to be found in the fresh fruit and vegetables area, rather than in the deli (meat and cheese), so that would probably point more towards them being considered "vegetables". Or fruit. ;)
At some point when aliens are confirmed and if they were carbon based you might have people say earth species and alien species are “related”.
