"Latex" is a botany term for any milky liquid exuded by a damaged plant, mushrooms kept the term from back when they were considered plants but it not the same substance. A "latex allergy" is specifically an allergy to rubber tree latex because that's the only kind of latex that's widely used by humans, it doesn't mean you're allergic to dandelion latex or mushroom latex.
