I have mushrooms all over, and I was under the impression that they
sprouted out of old wood.  In my garden's case, that would make sense,
since 18 months ago one couldn't see my house due to over grown brush. 
The former owners cut the brush and left the root systems underground to
rot - thus mushrooms.  

One that really fascinates me, however, is a large patch of yellow
fungus - not traditional mushrooms, just globs of fungus on the ground
in various spots in my garden.  Doesn't seem to hurt anything, but no
wildlife goes near it either.  When it *rots*, it turns blood red . . .
a bit alarming as it looks like something died in my garden . . . .any
idea where/how I can find out what it is??
