For example, if you feed an animal a diet of something such as mushrooms it’s whole life could this make the meat of the animal taste slightly like mushroom?
I think this is the right tag but please correct me if I am wrong.

Yes, absolutely.
A perfect example is beef which in North America is either corn fed or grain fed. Having grown up on grain fed beef, I can almost not eat corn based beef at all.
What animals eat with change the fat composition and flavour profile pretty dramatically. Deer, pigs and people all taste very different depending on what they eat, how old they are, general health of the animal etc.
