A 3D rendering of SCP-xxxx after ███ days of growth

Item #: xxxx

Object Class: Euclid

Special Containment Procedures: SCP-xxxx is to be stored in a standard petri dish with a radius of 3 inches, in the specimen fridge of Site-55 Bio-storage. The dish must be checked by assigned personnel daily. The maximum height of SCP-xxxx is 2 cm, and said assigned personnel must remove any part of SCP-xxxx that strays above that limit using a standard Kamikoto serrated knife. Severed pieces are to be incinerated. Only researchers with level 2 clearance or above are allowed to remove a sample of SCP-xxxx.

Description: SCP-xxxx is a fungus which appears to be part of the Agaricomycetes family, although the behavior and growth patterns are entirely different. SCP-xxxx does not release spores, and grows at an approximate rate of 1.7 cm per day. It is currently unknown whether any instances of SCP-xxxx exist in the wild, although investigation into the origin of SCP-xxxx is ongoing.

SCP-xxxx was first encountered by Dr. ████ in [REDACTED], Oregon, under the possession of a mathematics professor working at ██████ University. The professor, at the time of retrieval, had been at a local fraternity party, solving Fermat's Last theorem with his eyes closed (presumably under the influence of SCP-xxxx). All witnesses of this event have been given Class B amnestics.

SCP-xxxx grows in fractal patterns when left undisturbed, similar to the patterns under the name of the Mandelbrot set. Approximately █ to ██ minutes after the consumption of any amount of SCP-xxxx, the left hemisphere of the subject's brain will begin producing neurons with a much shorter lifespan than a normal persons. The subject's mathematical and logical capablities will increase by an undefined amount, said to be comparable to that of a person with over 20 years in mathematical studies. The final intelligence is also affected by the mathematical experience of the subject before the heightened intellectual state. This state lasts anywhere from ██ minutes to █ hours.

Addendum: 6/24 - Dr. █████'s Testing Log

Procedure: Each subject will be given 500 mg of SCP-xxxx and asked to complete a mathematical problem considered to be above their standard ability.

Subject: D-1603, female African-American, 23 years old (high school education)
Results: When prompted, the subject wrote and solved several equations in vector calculus. Influence of SCP-xxxx lasted for 52 minutes and 12 seconds.

Subject: D-7493, male Caucasian, 47 years old (college level mathematical education)
Results: When prompted, the subject began solving incredibly complex diagrams in fluid dynamics. One such diagram happened to align with the hydration system of the Burj Khalifa. The subject, when questioned, recalls to have no prior memory of the Burj Khalifa's waterworks. Influence of SCP-xxxx lasted for 1 hour, 35 minutes, and 30 seconds.

Subject: Dr. ██████, female Native American, 62 years old (currently the head of the mathematics department at ██████████ Institution, recipient of multiple ██████ Awards)
Results: Subject's pupils dilate by 55%, and subject begins murmuring underneath their breath. When questioned afterwards, subject has no recollection of said experience. Influence of SCP-xxxx lasted for 4 hours, 12 minutes, and 51 seconds.
