As far as Spores, Mold, and Fungi are concerned, they’re actually a pretty straightforward collectible within the confines of a Ghostbusting job. They’re little objects that can be found around every hunting location and glow with different colored neon hues. Though, there really aren’t any specifics to know about them.

The main point of collecting them is to actually level your profile up so that you can unlock better gear upgrades, new cosmetic items, and even additional Ghosts to play as. They’re extremely valuable in the long run though could go overlooked since they don’t play a bigger part in gameplay than some XP boosts.
