Probably not intentionally. There are only a couple of species of animals which actually have sex for pleasure. Same-sex sexual relationships serve very little practical or evolutionary purpose, so the only reason for them would be pleasure.

In addition, a lot of what is thought to be same-sex romantic couplings in the animal kingdom are other things. Animal instincts are simpler than ours, so in these cases, they get their instincts confused. For instance, a cat may haul off and bite you as a sign of affection. Kittens and puppies may accidentally perform fellatio while trying to nurse a male dog by mistake. Bonobo monkeys rub their genitals together as sort of a platonic bonding ritual that has nothing to do with sex. It is just that they get in stressful situations and this behavior is a means for them to defuse stressful or dangerous situations. There are no gay motives behind what they do.

Do mushrooms sleep?

Mushrooms do not have a central nervous system like animals do, so they do not sleep in the same way that humans or other animals do. However, some research suggests that mushroom growth and development can be influenced by light and dark cycles, similar to how plants respond to light and darkness.
