I've got GSP growing up the stock and on the bottom of my fiji yellow leather. Does not seem to bother it so far.
The biggest problem I've seen between having leathers and mushrooms in close proximity is that larger leathers tend to shade the mushrooms, so they may not get enough light.

It is generally not wise to have any non related corals touching. Some will be fine but some will kill the other one in no time.
It is hard to tell which ones can get along. I have many of them touching with no problem and also some with problems. My old bubble coral fell onto my star polyps and in a few weeks it is totally dead. It lost most of it's tissue almost immediately. (It is on the bottom in this picture) See this large coral, notice the gorgonian next to it. If you look close the branches on the top left of the gorg are dead. That large coral sometimes touches those branches.
