Fungi = Fungi (if you don't fold Fungi in with Plant magic)
Machines = Technology.
Plants = Plant.
Lesser Undead = Necromantic.

I'd suggest that oozes, etc. can be controlled by one of Animal, Fungi, or Plant college spells, based on their origins. Alternately, whip up a college of "Slime Magic" which allows you to cast spells based on the nasty properties of fantasy slime monsters.
Perhaps it would be best to have the "Control Oozes" Spell into the Meta-Magic school. Those creatures are magic in nature and a bit aside from any such classifications. You could even say that they are just pure "magic emanations", and thus the Meta-Magic would be the one more fitting.
