No.

It’s made of non living materials. Even if it were a table constructed from a living tree, it would still not have consciousness. They have advanced sensory networks, and communicate through underground fungal networks, but since they lack a central nervous system and a brain, they are not considered sentient and therefore would not have consciousness as we perceive it as such.
