pollenated

Dusted with spores

Pollenated is a less common spelling of pollinated—fertilized by the transfer of pollen from one flower to another.

Bees, wind, and other agents pollenate plants, enabling them to produce seeds and fruit: The orchard was pollenated by local honeybees.

The spelling with two l's (pollinated) predominates in scientific and general usage.
