Crazy, tinfoil hat, conspiracy theory time!
Oling's a host. Puxlut received the spore on day 0 and is now infected. Her end game has changed, so now she needs to recruit as many others to the infected side to achieve victory. By asking for the spore back, she is able to control where it goes. Oling wins when they and the turned account for 50% or more of the total living players, so he is happy when this happens. He knows she is turned because the hosts know of all turned players at all time. The hosts cannot be turned by receiving it, so he isn't afraid of having it sent to him. Since the town needs to kill/lynch the captain, second in command and the engineer to win, diverting the attention to the spore is a good plan. We, as townies, don't need to kill any of the turned; we just need to ensure they and the hosts don't account for at least half of the players.
The normal way of thinking (to me) of starting the game would be to send the spore to a passenger. We have all seen Oling be as good at mafia as anyone. He's crafty enough to either send it to another host to create confusion and deception, or play it off as though he received it himself when he's already turned someone.
If there was a counterclaim on Pux's anomaly it would help my tinfoil hat theory. It's not me, so this isn't a cryptic message like actieStick. I'd love to believe Pux is the anomaly, but in mafia I've been led astray many times. I want to believe her, but I don't want everyone to simply follow and confirm her town because she claimed anomaly and was vouched for by Oling. Everyone in Smash Bros thought HG15 was town for the vast majority of the game as well. That turned out poorly for us.
