Mushrooms can grow on a variety of media: manure, damp wood, damp soil. I think that in these cases, there are commonalities: food for the spores and moisture being the most important.

Manure is a good form of fertilization for any plant.

Mushrooms, like all fungi, are essentially scavengers of rotten material. Rather than get their nutrients from the soil and water, they get them from decaying organic material. In nature, this means rotting wood, dead leaves etc. If it were not for fungi, the world wild pile up dangerously with dead trees etc. Insects do their bit, but even they tend to prefer their dead wood after the fungi have softened it up for them. Manure is simply a bonanza supply of rotting organic material, so mushrooms grow fast and are easily harvested.

Mushrooms typically grow on the manure of grass fed animals. The animals eat millions of microscopic mushroom spores(seeds) while grazing. Then the spores pass through the animals stomach and this is when they begin to germinate. As others have pointed out - dung is a great fertilizer for the growth of shrooms.

As animals graze the fields they eat the grain and grasses containing spores... only certain strands are tough enough to endure the chemical breakdown that occurs during digestion ... when the animal deficates the spores are excreted in the dung. then with a mixture of warmth from the sun and the moisture of the dung germinates the spores and the fungi grows feeding off the protiens and bacteria in wich it was born...
