Sporespine

Overview

Sporespine is an airborne fungal spore gas endemic to Mycomorph ecosystems. It forms bioluminescent clouds that both propagate the species and influence nearby consciousness. At low concentrations, it stimulates growth and empathy; at high concentrations, it induces symbiotic hallucination cycles.

Physical and Psionic Properties

Sporespine spores carry microaura seeds — genetic and psionic instructions encoded together. They can colonize neural tissue, forming transient telepathic links between hosts and the forest network. In psionic spectra, Sporespine emits green-gold harmonics associated with regeneration and decay.

• **Mist:** Active biological spore suspension.
• **Condensate:** Dormant spores within resin.
• **Crystalline Bloom:** Fungal data node storing collective memories.

Uses and Occurrences

Trivia

• “The forest thinks through its breath,” say the psion-botanists.
• Sporespine colonies sometimes whisper audible thoughts when clustered.
