SCP-5000-2.jpg

SCP-5000-2 and SCP-5000-1

Special Containment Procedures: Due to SCP-5000 being in an anomalous location accessed by SCP-5000-3-A, Site-5000 was constructed around it. Only personnel with level Four access are permitted to open the door to the containment area. Access into SCP-5000-3 (for scientific research) is limited to D-Class personnel only, due to the inability to return after entering (see Expedition I).

Description:
SCP-5000 is a mycelial growth inhabiting the soil of SCP-5000-2 (Seen above) and exhibits behavior that may be classified as sentient. The primary purpose of SCP-5000 is to lure, incapacitate and feed on its prey. SCP-5000 lures its prey using SCP-5000-4, SCP-5000 incapacitates its prey with SCP-5000-1. SCP-5000 grows and encapsulates the remains of the prey, this begins the digestive process. SCP-5000 then dissolves all soft tissue, leaving only the skeletal structure (See Expedition II).

SCP-5000 converts skeletal structure into SCP-5000-1, a neurotoxic spore, it accumulates inside the leftover pocket of remains and is ejected when the pocket eventually ruptures. SCP-5000-1 utilizes the respiratory system to attack the neurological system. Subjects affected exhibited labored breathing and degraded motor coordination quickly followed by death.

SCP-5000-2 is a contemporary human settlement, considering the known environment no life is expected to be found. The town is still supplied by electricity from an unknown source. Other than this and the presence of SCP-5000-1 and SCP-5000, SCP-5000-2 is non-anomalous.

SCP-5000-3-A is a small circular stretch of forest 80.5Km (50Mi) away from ██████,██. When entered Subjects report a sudden instance of fog and a small clearing in which they encounter SCP-5000-2. Bark sample from SCP-5000-3-A was sent for testing to Site-104, tests concluded that cells from the bark are not plant cells, but fungal concluding that SCP-5000-3-A's trees are mushrooms. SCP-5000-3-A has an altered version of SCP-5000-1 referred to as SCP-5000-3-B.

SCP-5000-3-B much like SCP-5000-1, is a spore emitting from the trunks of the trees in SCP-5000-3-A. Inhalation of SCP-5000-3-B triggers a psycho-biochemical and/or psycho-dynamic optical hallucination referred to as SCP-5000-4.

SCP-5000-4 presents itself at night or in times of low visibility, in a form unique to each subject(e.g. A small child, animal, or family member). SCP-5000-4 lures subjects towards SCP-5000-3-A, trapping the subject in SCP-5000-2.
