Spore or spore means a germ cell or reproductive cell, as of a fungus--
If you shake a mushroom over a piece of paper you may be able to see the spore.
You will need a seed or spore of the plant to grow another one.
Spoor or spoor ( rhymes with spore ) means the track of a wild or hunted animal--
The dog won't be able to follow the spoor unless it's fresh.
He can smell the spoor of the fox that went through the yard this morning.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"We thought our dog was following the spoor of an animal, but since he led us to a mushroom, it must have been the spore of a fungus."
