It's probably a fairly small proportion. According to evolutionary biologist Robert May, President of Britain's Royal Society, "We share half our genes with the banana" (2001), but genes only make up 2% of human DNA - the answer depends on what proportion of the remaining 98% is the same. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and bananas 11 pairs - even if the 11 banana chromosomes were identical to human ones (they're not) it would still mean that less than half of human DNA would be found in a banana.

very interesting, You know, I’d like to know what percentage of DNA Chimps share with mushrooms?
If less, then are we really just Chimps that ate a bunch of mushrooms (likely hallucinogenic, repeat offenders over centuries?).
It’d explain why we share so many of the same viruses that fungi have. Why fungi (penicillin) has saved our lives. Why our brains work the way they do.... mycelium? It’s a fun thought, for sure. But, I’d love to see more research done in the field of mycology... Could that save humanity?
heres a mycologist working on the mystery of the mushroom. Future smart kids of the world, consider this field. This should be funded as big as NASA.
do your research on this guy, Paul Stamets. Think for yourselves. Be good to each other.

What percentage of billy goats and humans share?
First answerThe percentage of similarity that Billy goats and humans share is astounding. These animals both require food, water, and love.Second answerApart from those mentioned above, humans and goats share a large portion of similar DNA because they are both mammals. I would guess that they share at least 90%.
