You've tried adding a drop of Tween-20? That works for hydrophobic spores, although it can be fungitoxic. There was a time when we sprayed spores in liquid Freon, but that might be illegal now. Depending on your spray rig, you might be able to use a 0.01-0.02 % water-agar solution, which holds spores more uniformly in suspension.
