MERV

I am inventing my first Flow Hood. I bought a HEPA filter and a muffin fan. The HEPA is not 0.2um though so it will not filter mold spores. I am entertaining buying a different HEPA or air filter that filters mold spores, what MERV rating is suggested/recommended?

99.999% or at least 99.997% at .3 microns. The filter you bought will not work for mycology.

HEPA 13/14 is what you are looking for but it has to be combined with an appropriate fan/chamber to produce laminar flow.  You'll be better off just using a properly made SAB if you can't build a FH with the appropriate gear.

Goto terrauniversal.com and read about the filters they sell for fan filter units.
This will give you a good understanding of
what kind of filter mycology requires.

Building a flowhood requires a certain fan
for a certain filter resistance(static pressure)
and then a box that can build enough plenum
of air in it before that static pressure is
pushed through the filter evenly at once to
create true laminar flow.
