Mushrooms grow in a warm, moist environment. The combination of warm temperatures and high rainfall promotes rapid growth of the mycelium, the mass of threadlike structures from which the mushroom grows. A sudden change in temperature or moisture triggers the fruiting response, resulting in mushroom production.

The lightening has nothing to do with it; it's the heavy rain.
Rainwater dissolves nutrients, making it easier for plants and fungi to absorb them. Generally, the more water+nutirents, the more growth you'll see.
Add this to the fact that mushrooms are programmed to grow quickly, and you have their overnight appearance.
