Is Sporemound and Life and Limb an infinite? Or can it infinite after making another saproling? the introduction of new fungus/ saproling support for edh and brawl makes me curious.

Yes, this is an infinite loop. It’s also an infinite loop of mandatory actions, so the game will end in a draw unless any player removes either Life and Limb or Sporemound from the battlefield.

The loop works as follows:

A land enters the battlefield. This triggers Sporemound.

Sporemound’s trigger resolves, creating a Saproling token.

The token is also a Forest and thus a land, so Sporemound triggers again.

Sporemound’s trigger resolves, creating a Saproling token.

The token is also a Forest and thus a land, so Sporemound triggers again.

...etc.

If I have Sporemound and Life and Limb in play, and then play a land, do I get infinite Saprolings?

The game is now in an unbreakable loop. Unless you can remove either Sporemound or Life and Limb from the battlefield, the game will end in a draw.

If you can break the loop, then yes, you can get an arbitrarily large number of saproling forests.
