About this card

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may put a fungus counter on target nontoken creature. Whenever a creature with a fungus counter on it dies, create a 1/1 green Saproling creature token for each fungus counter on that creature. When this enchantment leaves the battlefield, remove all fungus counters from all creatures.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Sporogenesis is real?
Sporogenesis is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the print quality and cardstock (real cards have a distinctive blue inner core visible from the edge), the rosette pattern on the back, the security stamp on planeswalker / mythic cards from recent sets, and confirm the collector number and set code match the official Scryfall record. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
