I'm not enamoured by the concept of spooce. It's basically magic. Which isn't a problem when it's left unsaid and mysterious (like the Shrykull transformation, spirit rings or possession) but it seems to have been metricised

So? Mudokons have different levels of magic power, so it stands to reason that there’s some way of measuring it. I have no problem with Spooce, nor with SpooceShrubs (except for their implementation as a gameplay mechanic). Just ignore the 1 SpooceShrub = 1 Spooce equation and consider that SpooceShrubs contain the natural hallucinogenic Spooce, which Mudokons believe to give them a greater mental and psychic connection to the spirit world.
I believe the red item is supposed to be an antenna. It’s brightly lit simply so players can see them. It’s one of the less well thought out visual indicators of status.
