Description: SCP-XXXX is a species of fungus which behaves in a way similar to a human kingdom or empire. One individual starts its life as sphere-shaped mycelia underground. After a time span that varies from 1█ to 1██ years, the sphere bursts, leaving a new spherical mass of mycelia, from now on refered as the "core", and spreading the spores it created during its dorment state, contaminating nearby animal and vegetable lifeforms. Infected organisms will suffer a color change and their consciousness will slowly be replaced by the fungi's, creating an infected area surrounding the core, populated by the infected creatures, which are known as SCP-XXXX-1.

Whenever two or more instances of SCP-XXXX grow enough to overlap their infected area, each will try to conquer the other's core by sending mobile instances of SCP-XXXX-1 to engage in physical confrontation with the ones controlled by the confliting object, forcing a part of those creatures to start reproductive activity in order to increase the objects number. As spores propagate through reproductive fluids, the newborns will also be cntrolled by the core. During agression times, controled plants will grow in a way to difficult the opponent instances advance.

Addendum 1- First Discovery: The first wild spotted instance of SCP-XXXX was on 0█/0█/19██ on ██████, in the border between Portugal and Spain. For the first time, MTF-Beta² was assembled (See Recovered Log 1). It was

Item #: SCP-XXXX

Object Class: Safe

Special Containment Procedures: The object must be kept in a standard box locked up at all times exept when being tested. Personnel with security level 4 who want to perform testing in SCP-XXXX must seek site director approval.

Description: The object is a book written "YOUR book" in the front page. When it is opened by a living human, know as "opener", an entity known as SCP-XXXX-1 will bend reality in order to create a narrative where the individual who opened it is the protagonist. As the entity lacks in experience in story writing, the stories it creates are mostly similar to soap operas or plain simple romances, often ending with a tragic death of the individual. As long as the individual is alive, the book will display its new history which, not being able, however, to change the persons past. During that time, the book may be accessed by anyone, even though the appearance of new openers may change the narrative, the same way a writer invents a new character¹.

The book was first found in the house of the famous writer ██████ █████ who is believed to have created the book by unknown meanings,
