[RPG] If I turn into a Gas Spore and use Death Burst, do the other spores count as “me”

dnd-5ehomebrewmonstersskills

In Circle of the Seedling you can use Wild Shape to turn into plants. If I am a Gas Spore and use Death Burst, assuming the target fails the save and eventually dies from the infection, are the resulting Gas Spores that grow from their corpse considered my character?

There is absolutely no precedent for this in any other part of the game system. We are definitely in DM ruling territory.

However, I would say these are no more your character than if the story involved you creating progeny any other way. The only difference is the speed in which this is possible. The new gas spores are your character's "children". Sadly they are mindless, highly dangerous, monstrous children, and are unlikely to recognise or respect their relationship to your character as their parent.

Probably the only useful thing they would do is ignore the druid if he/she was currently transformed into something that they could not infect, such as another gas spore.
