I'd be betting that fungus would be an important foodstuff. I've seen one fiction novel that addressed this well, which was one of Dave Luckett's Tenebran Trllogy (Dark Winter, I think, but it might have been one of the others). Luckett talked about getting really grumpy reading fantasy with troglodyte communities where the story made assumptions that all the food was coming from above ground.
