Some species of fungi have 36k biological sexes. I don't know how that would translate to genders in a developed fungal society, but it's fun to know.
Huh, that's really fascinating. Do you know any off hand?
To be honest I Googled "How many genders do fungi have?"

There were various other articles about more specific species with 10k sexes, often much fewer.
