Enchantment
Whenever you gain life, you may pay . If you do, create a 4/4 green Fungus Beast creature token with trample.
"Sure, trudges smell like soggy death, but the mushrooms on their backs are the tastiest delicacy in Sedgemoor!"

Rulings (4)
- An ability that triggers "whenever you gain life" triggers just once for each life-gaining event, no matter how much life you gain.
- You may only pay
once for each life gain event.
- Each creature with lifelink dealing combat damage causes a separate life-gaining event. For example, if two creatures you control with lifelink deal combat damage at the same time, a "whenever you gain life" ability will trigger twice. However, if a single creature you control with lifelink deals combat damage to multiple creatures, players, and/or planeswalkers at the same time (perhaps because it has trample or was blocked by more than one creature), the ability will trigger only once.
- If you gain an amount of life "for each" of something, that life is gained as one event and the ability will trigger only once.
