Description
I'm beginning to sense a strong... connection... between the fungus and the creatures that inhabit it. There are certain mushrooms that are stronger than others. I believe if I had some samples of these I could use them, track the source of this foul fungus and... deal with it.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the quest's prerequisites.
- Vengeance for the Fallen
I... almost made it out. Most of us... dead. The others... they are no longer themselves. These lurching spore beasts are the cause, dragging us further into the marsh... stop them.
- Scout Forensics
My entire squad is gone. Some are dead; that much is obvious. The others though... they must be further in. Go and search the bodies of my squad that you find, each will carry a small pouch of personal items. I would like to return these to their families.
