Gotcha - very cool. I think I was thinking the Spore Deck was the discard pile. So when you spend Spore cards, they go in the Spore Deck. And when you discard Spore cards, they go into their own discard pile anywhere outside of the board, not the discard pile where the regular discarded deck cards go?

These are all the spore card interactions I believe.
If you use spore cards for your actions (from hand) they go to your spore deck.
If they are discarded normally, they go to the shared discard pile.
If they are added because of necropolis interaction they go to the shared discard from the spore deck.
If they are removed via the necropolis interaction they are taken from the shared discard and put into the spore deck.
The Spore deck itself has a spot on your board that only spore cards can be added/removed to/from.
Hope this clears it up.
I'm pretty much there - thanks for your patience on this. Seems like a satisfyingly complex system where you'd need a good few games with them to get tactically savvy on where and when you distribute your spore cards, key to which is getting them all back in deck, hence the skip to evening counterbalance.
So just to 100% get it, you're shuffling the entire shared discard pile back into the existing deck, not just the spore cards that have been discarded?
