Can the ability Mycelium Might bypass the ability Good As Gold?

(I.e. Can a Pokémon with Mycelium Might successfully use a status move on a target with Good As Gold?)

Yes.

Mycelium Might ensures that all status moves move last in their priority bracket. However, the move will affect the target regardless of its Ability.

Mycelium Might (Bulbapedia)

It almost feels like it was created as a direct counter to good as gold
Game Freak realised they made a fast Spore user, so they had to give it a bad Ability with a bizarre niche. :P
Can mycelium might ignore full metal body? If no, the Bulbapedia page is wrong.
@sumwun interesting point. I tested this ( https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9doublescustomgame-1732516221 ) and Full Metal Body blocked it, but MM functioned on Gholdengo in the replay above.
