Morphology
The meaning 'a mushroom that grows in fields' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'field' (a plot of land) with 'mushroom' (a fungus); the first word simply specifies the habitat/type of the mushroom. This follows a common English noun-noun compounding pattern with no idiomatic shift, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand it.
Etymology
Field mushroom is named for a simple picture: a mushroom growing in a field or grassy place. Because people often found these edible mushrooms in open fields after rain, the name came to mean this common edible type.
