The elves find out that this dude is running off with a fungi, and they commit to the kill and go after him. They find out that Dwarf A has a fungi AND CoF. Which to loot?

Bring it the fuck on.
The main problem plaguing r99 is low population, if red had 900 people on right now I doubt we'd even be talking about a new server, having said that you need to ask yourself not if item loot is fun, not whether or not you personally like it mentally masturbating to scenarios in which you're looting a Fungi. Ask yourself if will item loot will..

A) Bring new players or B) Scare away new players?

A) Increase player retention or B) Increase player attrition?

A) Increase the quality and frequency of PvP or B) Promote more plugging, zoning, gating, and general PvP avoidance?

Item loot IS fun, I personally enjoyed it, having said that actually PvPing against players instead of skulking around another dead box hoping not to be caught by a group of nude wizards is less fun.
