The problem is that Softies like torches, frogspawn, etc. will extend feelers out. Sometimes these can be stretched quite far. These extended arms will sting and kill to make room for it to grow. So probably not a good idea.
I mix them up, but I have the room to keep them away from the SPS, and would recommend the same.
Not really sure about mushrooms. I have some nice luminous green fuzzy mushrooms, right next to some SPS. They have been together for a couple years, and both the mushrooms and SPS are still there happy together. So I would assume in my case mushrooms are ok.
