Mushrooms are very interesting. They frequently grow at the bottom of trees - in the tree root zone - and are usually found in the Spring and the Fall. They can also be found on dead or fallen trees, in meadows, on live trees, and in forests here in North America. The fruiting body of the mushroom is the part of the mushroom that is above ground leaving the root system below ground. Some mushrooms are edible, others are poisonous if eaten or even touched. Still others have an effect like a hallucinogenic drug and have been used in Native American rituals. Many mushrooms are used in gourmet cooking though out the world. Although many varieties can now be purchased in stores, the very best mushrooms are harvested in the wild, and they have the best flavour when cooked. It is difficult to harvest mushrooms in the wild unless the mushrooms can be correctly identified as several types of mushrooms have similar appearances including those that are edible and those that are poisonous. There is more info on this subject if you are interested such as the local Mycological Society, Master Gardeners, or any botany Library of a local College or University.
