Slows down their cooldown rate. More spores on the enemy the slower they shoot. Also you do a bit extra damage to them.

edit: Official stats in my other post below

Each spore on the unit allows for 1+ dmg by the zerg unit

IE 9 spores on a wraith = 9 + dmg from mutalisk glave wurm

Also slows down firing rate of spored unit.

Acid Spores increase the amount of damage taken by 1 per application, and increase the cooldown of the affected unit by 1/8, stacks up to 9 times.

wrong.
It reduces armor, not increases damage.
which means it scales differently

Every time a Devourer attacks, it splashes an Acid Spore on the
target and any close-by units. Each Acid Spore reduces the unit's cooldown
till its next attack by 1/8. Units with Acid Spores will also take an
additional point of damage every attack (6 Acid Spores = +6 damage).

This also reveals cloaked units.

That's not really accurate, because the increased damage applies to Protoss Shields as well. You could say it reduces Shields and Armor by 1, but it's easier to just say the damage taken is increased by 1.

Oh, and naturally spells like Storm are not affected by armor on a target.
EDIT: Changed "Spores" to "armor". Not sure why I wrote that.

It doesn't reveal cloaked units, but units with spores that cloak will remain visible.

devourer spores + mutalisk multi-hit wurms = super damage (as the third hit does at least 10 damage given maximum spore count) O_O
Hates Fun🤔

FAR more insane is +3 sairs taking on any air unit with 9 acid spores on them. The carnage is unbelievable.
What fun is it being cool if you can’t wear a sombrero?
