    Not to mention the specific spores required for the drive to connect with the mycelial network come from one specific type of fungus that exists at least partially within subspace and doesn’t seem to be all that common.

      Yup. Took Stamets a year (or more) to cultivate his sample. Took even longer to grow all the spores on board.

      I’ll let the spores go simply because they did terraform an entire moon to grow prototaxitis stellaviatori. All they have to do is swing by the Veda system and grab a bunch.
