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.

Humans do not share much DNA with an apple. They share only about 40% of the same DNA.
Humans share DNA with many other species, chimpanzees and humans share 98% of the same DNA. Humans and mushrooms share 67% of the same DNA.

Humans share at least some genes (DNA) with all living organisms. As far as plants, it is around 15%.
While plants and humans are very different, they do have quite a bit of DNA similarities. Humans share approximately 40-50% of DNA with cabbage. Humans share over 60% of DNA with insects, and 98% with chimps.
we share 1/3, or 25%, of a daffodil.

Yes, they do. It is a small amount but interesting that we are related to grass.

Humans and dogs only share about 25% of the exact same DNA or genome sequence. They also have a different number of chromosomes. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and dogs have 39 pairs.
More than 98%, according to Jonathan Marks Department of Anthropology University of California, Berkeley
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%.

You would share up to 6.25%.

Yes, and they share a significant amount of identical DNA even though their common ancestor is back in the precambrian.
