Fluff
The Spores of Madness are an interesting bunch of loonies to say the least. By now their original chapter name has been forgotten or simply removed form the Administratum records, and if you asked one of them to tell you they'd probably spit and tell you it's Bad luck mate, before probably disemboweling and/or infecting you with some awful combination of Warp Scurvy and Space AIDS.
Created in the 40th millennium from the gene seed of the White Scars, the Spores of Madness loyalist streak didn't last long. But a scant few decades after their founding, a horrible flaw (yet unspecified) was discovered in their gene seed, a mutation so vile that the Inquisition was immediately dispatched to purge the unclean chapter. The force did its job... well, most of it, at least. They managed to destroy 90% of the chapter (including their Chapter Master). By the end of it, only the first company was left, holed up in their fortress monastery. When the Inquisitors came a'calling, the Spores answered. Rather than remaining in their fortress, the first company boarded their ships, and took the fight to their new enemies. Opening with quite a few daring boarding actions, not only did they escape, but stole several of the attacking ships while they were at it.
It is unknown how or when this first company came under the influence of good old Nurgle or how they came to their current hunting grounds in the Ghoul stars, all that is known is that these fanatics care about looting and thieving nearly as much as Papa Nurgle.
