A Voice in the Night by William Hope Hodgson
While reading the otherwise meh Alfred Hitchcock collection 12 Stories They Wouldn't Let Me Do on TV, I read this gem, originally published in The Blue Magazine in 1907. A creepy little tale about a castaway who dares not let himself be rescued. The tale rang familiar to me, and sure enough, it's the basis for this classic:
Matango, aka Attack of the Mushroom People. It's also been adapted for TV on Suspicion and Naruto.
