Mushrooms, or any fungi for that matter, cannot make their own food. They have to live on dead organic matter that is in the ground. The source can be dead roots of trees but it can also be other dead plant or animal remains. Plowing under a crop in a field could be the source.
Sometimes there are specific fungi called fairy rings that grow in rings--that is just one of their characteristics.

Certain types of musrooms grow in what is called a "fairy ring" this is because of the was the spores spread themselves, it is only certain types though

Most fungus that grows in the ground does this. You will find this article a good starting point for your research into Fungus.
