So far this seems to be incredibly generous. I don't know if it will change throughout the event, but I'm not really seeing much cooldown for thread viewing at least, which is how I'm getting most of my spores.
Feel free to let us know anything else you've observed!

Purple Spores - Viewing a thread - 1-2 spores - maxed out at 18 events, (cooldown 24 hrs? - has changed to 12hrs!!)
Red Spores - Posting in a Thread - 4-8 spores - there is a word/character minimum, so no one word posts! But the basement can give spores. - maybe no maximum?
Yellow Spores - Voting in Poll - 4 spores - 1 per cooldown (24hrs)
Pink Spores - Visit a profile - 1-2 spores - 1 per cooldown (24hrs?)
Dangerous Spore - Creating a new thread - 10-16 spores

*Didn't seem to get any spores yet for posting on anyone's profile, or for reacting to posts, which are both actions in the past that have collected dust type currency

Thanks for putting this together! I think I'm in a cooldown now, will report back on how long it lasted!
 
I haven't been able to earn new Yellow Spores since yesterday... Going on 22 hours now!
 
Thank you for putting this together! Worth mentioning that it seems like the basement threads do not give out spore currency which is unfortunate. I think it's going to be a bit difficult for me to get to 90 spores each day (enough for 10 foraged mushrooms) but I will do my best.
 
I also realized that the Basement does not seem to count either after having posted in a bunch of threads and seeing nothing change :<
 
It looks like I got 29 spores from just viewing threads across 18 different events. Hoping posting in threads can get me up to 90 cuz it seems like I’ve been stuck around 70 for a while and I’d like to buy 10 mushrooms!
 
This makes the daily mush grind so much easier, thanks for slapping this together!

I don't use the forums much anymore, so being able to efficiently farm spores is nice.
 
Thank you for putting this together, it's helpful to understand what we're all going to have to do!
 
thank you so much for putting this together! i did notice the spores to be a bit more forgiving than general dust. very thankful for that because I don't really feel like I contribute to conversations very meaningfully during normal dusting events.
 
Hm I haven't had any issues with reaching a cd (at least from what I've noticed), so I wasn't even aware that there was one until one of my friends said she was struggling to get the last few spores she needed. Though my other friends were able to get all 10 of their mushrooms in one go. Will be trying to get mine for day 3 and see if I get hit with a cd as well. 🤔
 
I got most of my spores yesterday with posting viewing threads, the cooldown for those spores isn't too long! The other ones however I've not had much of. I'll see how today goes and report back if I notice anything new!

Edit: I just noticed most of my spores I earned yesterday were Purple Spores... I was likely on cooldown for the others. So viewing threads seems to be the most lucrative then?
