Description
Fungus counters first appeared on Mindbender Spores in Mirage. It is a Wall which creates four Spore counters on creatures it blocks against. It freezes the creature preventing it from untapping while it has any counters on it but one counter being removed each upkeep step. This represents the fungus spreading on the creature from the wall.
They returned in Urza's Saga with Sporogenesis which was an enchantment that had a different effect for them. In this case it added a fungus counter to a creature each upkeep and when any of those creature's died, a 1/1 green Saproling token would be created. These counters remained only until the enchantment left the battlefield. This effect represents the fungus role in the decomposition of the dead.
