Ensembl Fungi has got the mapping of YORFs to GO IDs. You can retrieve that data with the web interface of BioMart in addition to biomaRt, the R version in Bioconductor.

Just came across with this comprehensive post by Thomas Maurel (BiomaRt or how to access the Ensembl data from R). Although it's based on Ensembl (not Ensembl Fungi), it can be useful to you. From The biomaRt user's guide you can connect to other databases than Ensembl. The example given in there is Wormbase.
