Sort of. Mushrooms need a bit of moisture, and thunder is often followed by rain. So it's not really the thunder & lightning that brings the mushrooms out, but the accompanying rain that does it.
Only rain would work just as well, but not be quite as noticeable.
Lightning and thunder cannot cause mushrooms to grow, but they are usually accompanied by rain, and fungi (a mushroom is part of a fungus) grow best in moist environments.
What else can I help you with?
Is it true that thunder and lightning simultaneous?
Yes, technically thunder and lightning originate at the same time. However, light travels much faster than sound so even though they start simultaneously you will hear the thunder after you see the lightning unless you are very close to the bolt.
If the time between when you see lightning and hear thunder is increasing the storm is moving away from you Why is this true?
The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second, while the speed of sound is about 750 miles per hour. When you see a flash of lightning, the light gets to you in, for all practical purposes, "no time at all". But the sound of the thunder takes about 6 seconds per mile. So if the average time between the lightning and the thunder is increasing, that tells us that the average distance to the storm is also increasing.
What is the visible discharge of electricity called?
ligtning po.. its true..
Is it true that you can use thunder to tell how far away a storm?
You can generally determine how far away you are from the place of origin by counting 1 one-hundred, 2 one hundred, etc until you hear thunder and divide that number by two. That is how many miles away you are.
True or false cumulonimbious clouds may produce both thunderstorms and hurricanes?
True. Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with thunderstorms, which can produce strong winds, heavy rain, lightning, and thunder. In rare cases, cumulonimbus clouds can also be involved in the formation of hurricanes, which are large, powerful tropical storms characterized by low pressure systems and rotating winds.
Is it really true that the lightning strikes first before the thunder or the lightning and thunder strikes together but only the lightning seems to be first because of it's speed of light?
Lightning does indeed strike first, as thunder is the sound created by lightning. According to Wikipedia, lightning heats the air surrounding it by large quantities, which in turn causes the air to expand and create a "Sonic wave" which is similar to a sonic boom.

Is it true that thunder is the sound lighting?
Yes. Thunder is the sound of lighting hitting the ground. Light travels much faster than sound so you see the lighting first and hear the thunder afterwards. If you see the lighting and hear the thunder right after, then you are closer to wear the lighting struck.
Is it true humans can tell when thunder is going to come?
I will better say that EXPERIENCED humans can say when thew storm is going to come

How do you estimate how far lightning is away from you?
To estimate your distance from a thunderstorm count the number of seconds between a flash of lightning and the next clap of thunder. Divide your answer by 5. See the related link below.
What is the purpose to have a thunder and lightning?
My theory of thunder is that it functions as a way to help it rain. The water molecules are suspended in the cloud and form rain when it gets too heavy, but the thunder helps to make the molecules combine by the sound of the boom from the thunder. The intense soundwave vibrates the molecules till they combine, getting heavier till it forms rain drops. Not saying that it HAS to have thunder too form rain. It just helps. Have you ever noticed how when it is raining that the rain will seem to die down some but then there is that thunder that is from a nearby lightning bolt and a big boom then some seconds later the rain may increase some? This is my theory but I believe it to be true.
