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, and the colour.
A chicken fed corn or maize will have yellow meat (appears yellow before cooking) a hen with diet rich in maize will lay eggs with a red yolk.
Pigs or cattle that are fed kiwi fruit or pineapples for a few weeks before slaughter have a sweeter flavour and very tender meat.
I had goats that I fed silage to right up until they were slaughtered, they produced very dark meat with a bull-beef flavour. I prefer goat meat that was fed grass for several weeks before slaughter
