Strange-looking Fungus

I saw this growing in the grass near a badamier (betelnut) tree in the parking lot of Pamplemousses Botanical Gardens.

Google Lens identifies it as a species of Ganoderma fungus, growing on tree roots which are near to the surface.

Some of the photos and images I've seen of the various varieties of this fungus look rather un-pretty.

A bit of blurb about it:

It looks nice.

fungi totally fascinate me and this one is really something - we just wouldn't survive with them and they come in so many amazing types

It looks like someone's breakfast, I'm afraid. The shapes and colors are good.
