TheWoWDBI had to add the grappler button to my action bar and use the keyboard to click it while using the mouse to "steer" (find targets). Since aerospores and mushrooms aren't technically targetable, trying to click on them and then click on the extra action button in the middle of the screen failed most of the time with the "no valid targets" message.

If you are having issues grappling the Aerospores, I noticed that for some odd reason that it doesn't work while in travel form as a druid.
Unshapeshift and it may allow you to grapple them like it did for me.
When you've completed the quest, Lighthook Grapple appears on the General tab of your spell book, and you can add it to your action bars.
