Mushrooms growing around base of bamboo

Hello all, happy holidays. I was curious if anyone had any experience with mushrooms growing at the base of your bamboo plantings. I have a really heavy mulch of composted manure, leaves, and woodchips around the base of my running bamboos (phyllostachys) and there are mushrooms also growing there at the base. I think I have fairly clay heavy soil so I was wondering if there was poor drainage in which case mushrooms were growing there, or if because I have such a thick layer of mulch (maybe 6") that it is conducive to mushroom growth? It doesn't seem to be hurting the plantings at all but I was curious if it was a symptom of anything. Thanks in advance for your time! Todd in Californai
