Sod is usually grown in Mushroom compost and the nice watering you must be giving it has made the mushroom spores activate.

It could be a couple of things. The mushrooms could have been under the ground you laid the sod on, however, if you have not seen mushrooms in that area in the past, that's probably not the cause. There could have been mushrooms growing on the farm where your sod was grown, though most farmers are careful to watch for and eliminate them. The most likely explanation is that the person installing your new lawn (or yourself) purchased soil or mulch that contained mushrooms to help fortify the ground before installing the grass. Your water and fertilizer simply helped to welcome them to their new home.
It could be old dead tree roots rotting if you sodded because of a tree removal.
Don't worry so much about mushrooms in your lawn.
They may form beautiful fairy rings of darker grass. Consider them a blessing. Learn what they are. There are many lawn mushrooms that are edible. You may have some good ones to eat. You will never be able to kill them all, so enjoy them and look forward to their appearance every year. I collect and eat 5 different species from my own yard each year.

Probably the tree roots the sod covered, but possibly bark products in the sod soil had some mycelium. My guess, though, is they are coming from tree roots recently covered. Mycelium can move quickly under the right conditions. The largest living organism is a fungus fairy ring, the bulk of which would be mycelium, and is so large it must be seen from an airplane. That is a single organism!
