"My goodness! This is a magnificent masterpiece, not the work of an artist, but naturally occurring."

That's what comes to my mind when I see splitgill mushrooms growing on rotting wood. They're like fallen flowers, and that’s so beautiful!

This fungus is common in rotting trees after the rainy season and is able to survive for a rather long time despite the dry season.

And interestingly, the splitgill mushroom is widely used by the herbal industry for natural medicine.
