I'm currently reading Foundation and Empire and one of the planets is named Haven where cultured-fungus dishes are a delicacy. Is the molo on Haven a nod to Isaac Asimov or was this just coincidence?

That's interesting. There is a Haven in Christopher Nuttall's Empire Corps books also, but I assumed it was a nod to the Honorverse created by David Weber

There's probably some nodding going on between series, but it seems to me that the idea of what a haven is, simply makes it a rather good choice for naming a planet or station. That being said, the common name and fungi reference does certainly make it seem like a nod.

Also, Jerry Pournelle's War World anthology is set on Haven, which is orbiting a gas giant. Yet another coincidence?
