"The spore of clarity" didn't have the right poetry about it (at least for the wider audience which my sentence will no doubt never reach, I myself have no problem with using spores and mould as happy similes), and the rather than the juxtaposition I desired for the metaphor, the outcome seemed a forgone conclusion.
Perhaps the seed was already infected. Or perhaps both the seed and fungus are not actually real.
