Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be kept in Biological Containment Site-66 within a secure hydroponics cell. Research personnel who tend to SCP-XXXX instances must have at least a bachelor's degree in microbiology and specialize in mycology. Under no circumstances are personnel assigned to SCP-XXXX to handle any instance of SCP-XXXX using their bare hands or any exposed tissue. Personnel tasked to handle SCP-XXXX instances will be issued standard Foundation botanist gloves, after use gloves are to be chemically washed and treated extensively with anti-fungal solution to prevent spore transfer or cross contamination.

SCP-XXXX-1's care was transferred to Agent Liam Garrick, interview follows.
SCP-XXXX-1 was treated at Foundation medical facilities, amnesticized, and is to follow up on an outpatient treatment plan with █████████ Behavioral Health Clinic for schizophrenia.
