Specifically, failure that leads to hurting one of his closest friends. Notice how she brought up mutating her father. Leo was afraid of letting everyone else down, but since he has to face it every day, he was able to face it here. Donnie was afraid of April hating him and still blaming him for what happened to her father. I don't think Donnie was real focused on his own failure. Otherwise, he would have been having the same struggle that Leo was having, i.e., "I let everyone down," ... "I'm a failure," etc. Okay, fair enough. There's 2 kinds of "greatest fear" hallucinations. The realistic fears brought to life (Leo) and the acid trip minor fears (everyone else). Reguardless as to how afraid everyone actually is of what they were halucinating, the spores were upping it to "sheer terror" levels.

I think the spores have an ability to tap into ones mind and find they're fears worst nightmares.
