Log of it happening (on creatures). Notice how it gets nearby and explodes. Honestly, game mechanics wise, I see no reason why it wouldn't hit players. What would it do if you tossed it in a room with a player, just fizzle? Makes no sense. It should hit everything in the room, I'd think, at least thoertically, including players. It may not work with others in your group though. I wonder if this does work, it gets them from hidnig?
Creature: (look at the verbage here. It should use the same verage for people. throw spore at <person name>.)

You throw your light brown spore onto the ground and it bounces a few feet before skidding to a stop. A single wave of deep, crimson flames and acrid smoke radiates from the exploding spore and ripples along the ground towards a jungle troll chieftain.
