Thunderbolts and lightning foster mushrooms", is another mythical belief with an underlying scientific explanation. An episode of heavy rain and some lightning trigger the germination of dormant spores in the soil area. Being fungi, mushrooms thrive in damp places. The moisture, heat and light provided by the rain and the lightning create a favorable environment for mushrooms. Furthermore, lightning causes the precipitation of atmospheric nitrogen which enhances mushroom growth and fruiting body formation. So the mystical properties of mushrooms arise from the seeming magical appearance of these organisms where earlier there was just decomposing plant material and soil
