Yikes! He looks a lot like a rescue i had last year...unfortunately my guy didn't make it.
If yours has any chance i would say aggressive treatment at the descrestion of a good qualified herp vet is his best choice. If nothing else, at this point he is so dehydrated he definately will need a catheter placed IO (intra osseous) to help rehydrate him, bloodwork should be done to evaluate his overall health as well...
My guy rallied for awhile with fluid therapy and antibiotics (he was septic from an untreated, abscessed bite wound on his arm) but in the end it was all too much for him.
I would get him to a good herp vet, get some fluids into him and if possible - get some bloodwork done to evaluate where things are at internally.
As far as yellow fungus - im afraid i dont know. I would check www.reptilerooms.com, CheriS wrote a good article on yellow fungus - i think its in the bearded dragon forums...or it may be in the caresheet section.
Good luck with him!
