Two I vaguely recall but can't find. One where he deliberately ate a mushroom after failing to unlock his curse and was raised as a girl by his mother.
Another where Cologne locked the curse, used Xi Fa Xiang Gao Shiatsu to wipe his memories, and the mushrooms to de-age him and took him back to the village to be raised as an amazon and bred. Giving birth broke the memory technique and she had a bloody revenge upon the Amazons.
I know I read a couple others where Ranma felt that Ranma Saotome had no honorable solution to his problems and wanted to start over, but they were mostly unfinished and abandoned.
Also the abandoned story "Rune Soldier Ranma" has him being reduced to a kid and sent to another world with his memories but not physical conditioning intact, but not via mushrooms.

I know noting of Detective Conan, so did not respond...
But Ranma is made younger in a good number of stories that have nothing to do with Conan...
I believe he was made younger in 'Reconstructing Oneself' by genhoss in an attempt to heal the trauma
There was also 'Young Heart' by erzamarie
And the Oh My Goddess Crossover called 'Young At Heart' by Thermopyle
He became younger in the sailor moon crossover called 'Forever the Tomboy' by ranger5
Technically, the persona of Yori that Ranma portrays in 'Desperately Seeking Ranma' is younger.
I know at least one of the Magic Knight Rayearth crossovers had Ranma become younger.
One of the side stories for 'Just Won't Die' had Ranma take the mushroom to get around the affects of a love pill...
For one chapter in the story 'Hell is a Martial Artist' by Ozzallos a made younger Ranma, Hild, and Hinako go on to cause trouble for fun.
Not quite the same, but probably a runner up would be the ones Ranma gets transported into a younger self by a wish, normally to redo something... I can think of ones that involve Nabiki, Akane, and Ranma (mostly separately, not together).
And all that is just off top of head.
