'''Spore Mines''' or "floaters" (species name: ''boletus minoris'') are used by [[Tyranid]]s as living, floating mines which explode if anything non-Tyranid gets close. They are very basic organisms used as living bombs and launched from [[Biovore]]s. They are full of poisons, toxins, viruses and chemicals and are covered in sensitive feelers which seek out heat and vibrations. They are also able to sense nearby fire and will explode in the hope of killing the enemy firing. All of the mines in a cluster are link linked, and when one explodes, they all do even if there are no enemies nearby. If the mine is killed it will also explode. Spore mines come in one of three forms:
*'''Toxin''' - Full of poisons and toxins, the mine can overcome any physiology. The poisons include highly reactive inorganic poisons, haemotoxins, aflotoxins, neurotoxins and phage cells.
