Maybe they grow better here in places. Every year north of here is a massive mushroom hunt. Planes from France land at the local airport to jettison the prize fungus back to refined diners in Europe.

I recall finding one strange looking mushroom that looked like a small loaf of bread. We were in the area a couple of days and I found out a whole family had been basically wiped out in the 1920s that lived on the hill where there was preponderance of these mushrooms. At the foot of the hill about 1.5 miles away was a grave of a man who lived to 105 and in between him and the family at near surface and in the sides of an old water dugout was vivianite. Of course we took some but never sampled it, may have been high in other deadly minerals i.e. arsenic, nickel, cobalt. The vivianite was in clay and would oxidize and turn canary blue right in front of your eyes. Mushrooms, or vivianite or mushrooms raised on vivianite or some other coincidental factor can't be too healthy.
