Depends on your definition of conscious, I suppose. Fungi can definitely move, just not via locomotion - fungi expand through mycelial networks and reproduction.
Who knows what the specific function is, maybe specific species are sensitive to the specific pressure of another species required for reproduction. In the plant example, they often use chemical signaling to repel predators (and note that plants are also "not conscious", and most are way less mobile than fungi).
