For 3Green or 3GreenGreen Venomous Dragonfly and Cockatrice are better in those combos.
For 1Green Tangle Asp is better against non-flyers.
Though if your opponent has indestructibles/regenerators YMMV.

One of the jankiest imaginable uses for Plaguemaw Beast.

If a creature survives long enough to be blocked by Mindbender Spores twice, it gets the "remove a fungus counter" ability twice, and so removes them twice as fast.

Unfortunately, while it technically interacts with Sporogenesis, the combo is not as useful as it seems at first glance.

Mindbender Spores puts four Fungus counters on a creature, sure (and even punishes it for having any existing Fungus counters), but it also makes it so that creature will now remove a fungus counter every turn, and continue to do so as long as it remains in play. Adding new counters to it becomes something of a waste.

And while you could technically get four 1/1 creatures if the creature dies immediately, you're probably going to have to use removal to make that happen. When you remember that your Mindbender Spores likely died after blocking once, the combo seems a bit too complicated for something that just nets you a few 1/1 creatures.
