Here in the Philippines
especially in the countryside, Filipinos gather wild mushrooms by the kilos found growing under trees or shrubs and anywhere else a day or hours after heavy rain accompanied by lightning and thunder. And nobody knows why this is so. The usual scenario is there is a single mushroom growing in the middle of a field and a bunch of others growing nearby. This single mushroom is separated from the others by several feet or few meters. That's how nature creates these mushroom formation. ​ Old folks always say, whenever you find a single mushroom somewhere in the field, expect to find the other bunch growing nearby. Maybe mushrooms are foods coming from the gods.
