there are two possible explanations. the mushroom may have been attached to a underground root system and the mushroom is considered the fruit. So when you pick it, one will just grow back.
Another possible explanation would be that when you picked the mushroom, spores wre shook loose landing in the right environment and simply started to grow.

The mushroom part is just the fruiting body of a fungus that exists as a spread-out system of threads or hyphae underground. It only produces the mushroom when it is time to reproduce. So if you pick the mushroom from the top, the mycelium (bunch of threads) can put up another one if conditions are still right.
The dust formed in the gills on the underside of the cap are the spores. Mushrooms don't reproduce with seeds, but they do make millions of tiny spores that can drift away with the wind. Most of them don't land in good conditions for growing, but it only takes a few!

Because all the black stuff at the bottom of the mushroom are seeds. So the fall right under the mushroom. Some of them get blown by air to other places!

mushrooms can grow by vegetaion regernation (a for of mititois) and since mushrooms are soft and hard to take of all parts of the mushrooms more will grow so if you pick mushrooms make sure you get everything

because mushrooms are a fungus that grow from a spawn they do not have roots like most vegetables they re spawn anywhere from 15 to 30 times
