Yes, they can. Generally mushrooms are pretty slimy themselves, so they can avoid most of damage and/or release and move/float away. But, it really depends upon the type of anemone, and how long it spends in contact with the mushroom. I've had an anemone consume a free-floating mushroom, so there is that.
