I reworded my comment a few times to try to hedge for that, without making any claims about fungi experiences because I couldn’t know anything about that.
It’s certainly possible fungi experience some form of social life, but I think it’s unlikely they have an experience of gender at all analogous to ours.

Input/Output and reacting to input in general is not analogous to sapience or even just sentience. Otherwise this would also be a hint that our phones have a social life.
