Why have a base-based system at all?
Let them have separate names for the first 136-152 numbers, and nothing after that. Larger number names are different between the colonies, so they are fuzzy somewhat.
Of course, this will hinder the development of math, but what if these funghi suck at manipulating abstractions? They don't need to talk about millions, they just say "very many spores".
