  As much as I remember in the vacuoles of some plant cells. (I guess it depends on the family or the genus, I don’t know) I’m not sure about fungi.

  ‘Betalain pigments are water-soluble vacuolar yellow (betaxanthins) and violet (betacyanins)
  pigments that replace anthocyanins in most plant families of the order Caryophyllales. They are
  also found in some species of the fungal genera Amanita and Hygrocybe.’
