Maybe I missed a few details but can someone explain to me… What is his spore? Is it leg...

*spoiler*. yes his spore is a little mushroom

So I originally read the novel and I won’t spoiled it but the spore is like basically his “kid” read down below for spoilers (⌒▽⌒)


















Spoilers:
He needs the spore bc he uses the spore to reincarnate. ╥﹏╥ ……I was literally hit with bomb of tears waves when he died

That's actually a good question! You didn't miss anything, even in the novel An Zhe never specified what his spore is. 3/4 of the novel he just said its his spore and he needs it back. It's something that is supposed to reside in his body until it matures and thats all he knows. He feels he needs it and cant feel whole without it. But much later in the novel when he's asked: what your spore means to you? Is it your child or something?
He admits he's sure its not his child but in human sense It kind of may be, but he says: my spore... is just my spore. An Zhe cant really be specific what his spore is, because its neither a child or another mushroom
He knows 100% its a part of him but thats all. As for what the spore really is you will find out in the future! ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶ I don't want to spoil anything, but I understand the curiosity about the spore since not much is mentioned about it

ideally mushroom spores are like seeds or eggs which can be used to reproduce/grow the mushroom. But in this series it is kinda like just a part of him or a clone of him that grows since the mushroom's lifespan isnt long. well that's how I understand it in the novel

I assumed it’s like a baby clone of sorts, though I was confused since spores are like a bunch of particles it’s not a singular thing you can take? But yeah I guess in this series it’s just a little mushroom lol

Thank you everyone I guess he is just a little musterious
