The Tyranid [[Hive Mind]] is becoming more adept at its use of mycetic spores as the Tyranids push deeper into the [[Galaxy]]. Recent strains of mycetic spores have evolved sensory nodes, shielded with ablative chitin that burns off during orbital insertion, to allow the spore to make a more accurate landing by homing in on pheromone trails released by [[Lictor]]s. Other strains of mycetic spores are actually two bioforms together. When a spore of this type makes impact with the planet's surface, its outer shell dies away and peels apart to reveal another symbiotic organism inside that takes sustenance from the outer shell to fuel a powerful bio-weapon.{{Fn|3}}
