Site SCP-XXXX-3. Pictured: Agent M. ██████.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All SCP-XXXX-1 infected structures are to be made inaccessible to the public in their entirety and monitored once a week for signs of budding. All security and research staff on active duty at SCP-XXXX sites are to wear standard-issue respiratory units and submit to periodic examinations for SCP-XXXX-1 infection at the discretion of 03-Level Foundation personnel overseeing SCP-XXXX operations.
Objects removed from SCP-XXXX-1 infected structures are to be incinerated immediately after the cessation of off-site testing. SCP-XXXX is to be periodically re-mapped at the discretion of 03-Level Foundation personnel overseeing SCP-XXXX operations to detect newly infected structures.
Addendum: If the death of one or more SCP-XXXX-1 hosts is determined to be the result of sudden SCP-XXXX-1 growth all SCP-XXXX structures are to be locked down, and SCP-XXXX immediately subjected to a full re-mapping.
Description: SCP-XXXX is an LS-3 class pocket dimension that hosts an anomalous fungal structure that has threaded itself through, and by extension connected the pocket dimension to, a number of abandoned, and semi-abandoned structures. This fungal organism has been designated SCP-XXXX-1.
SCP-XXXX is connected to 19 182 37 (See addendum XXXX-b-14) structures via a collection of SCP-XXXX-1 infected objects forming semi-stable gateways. Infected objects resemble, and are created from manmade products left in sub-optimal conditions for an extended period, often in a state of partial decomposition. Newspapers, cardboard and plastic containers, aluminium and tin cans, clothing, and electronics are all commonly found within SCP-XXXX gateway structures, which externally resemble the irregular constructions made by sufferers of compulsive hoarding disorders.
SCP-XXXX-1 infected objects at the outer edge of the site-XXXX-9 gateway.
SCP-XXXX-1 infection of gateway objects resembles the growth of fungal mycelium through soil regardless of the material composition of each object, and limited testing of SCP-XXXX-1 has revealed its ability to 'burrow' through substances up to a 7.5 on Mohs Hardness Scale, though harder materials take longer to fully infect.
The interior of SCP-XXXX is comprised of long, winding corridors of SCP-XXXX-1 infected matter, though within SCP-XXXX itself the mycelium structure is more extensive and outwardly visible. By traversing the interior of SCP-XXXX it is possible to move between any of the infected structures, though the conditions within have proven hazardous. The air within SCP-XXXX maintains a steady 35C with a high, though variable humidity. Contact with the exposed elements of SCP-XXXX-1 causes the 'fruiting' elements of the fungus to excrete spores, particularly near the various entry points, and entry to SCP-XXXX has been linked to growth in the fungal mycelium in and around active gateways. SCP-XXXX has proven difficult to directly record, as most audio, visual, and radiological recording equipment fails soon after entry into the LS-3 class pocket dimension. Remote drones are similarly affected, and at this time have proven unreliable within SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX-1 infection of human hosts has been reported both in the former occupants of SCP-XXXX structures at the time of containment, and members of the first research team. Initial stages of infection resemble Tinea corporis, with ringworm-like rashes forming on extremities that persist through all stages of SCP-XXXX-1 infection.
In later stages of the infection, mycelium-like growths spread through the host's nervous system, with the bulk being found in the Dura, Arachnoid, and Pia3 mater of the brain. Mycelium filaments have been found deeper in the brain of examined hosts, and cerebral fluids extracted appear discoloured from the volume of SCP-XXXX-1 spores.
Behavioural changes begin during this stage of the infection, as do periods of headaches and dizziness which are consistent with the increased pressure in the meninges. Neurochemical changes in the host's brain lead to a number of symptoms of compulsive hoarding disorders, though the extent of this effect is currently unknown, whether it creates such tendencies or simply increases their intensity. SCP-XXXX-1 hosts continue to degrade over time, collecting and protecting meaningless objects, and experiencing significant distress if these objects are removed from their presence. Experimentation with late-stage SCP-XXXX-1 hosts has shown a preference for mundane objects, especially those that hosts deem to 'match' their existing store of hoarded objects. This is believed to be for the purpose of camouflage for SCP-XXXX-1 infected objects within the hoard itself.
SCP-XXXX-1 infection can be successfully treated in the early stages through the use of conventional anti-fungal methods, though once it has advanced enough to form cranial mycelium such treatments become universally fatal, as the breakdown of SCP-XXXX-1 material does irreparable damage to the nervous system of the host. At this time, no surgical extraction of SCP-XXXX-1 growths has been completed without extensive damage to the host.
After-Action Report XXXX-9bThe following excerpts were taken from the transcript of Agent ██████ Howard's audio-log, and have been marked as of particular interest to the continued monitoring of SCP-XXXX. Agents Howard, Smithy, Bianchi, and Miller, a detachment from Mobile Task Force Phi-9, entered the SCP-XXXX gateway located on site-XXXX-1, located in ████████████, Ontario during initial containment. Due to damage to the squad's recording equipment, Agent Howard's audio-log remains the only record of the Foundation's initial excursion into SCP-XXXX.
-ording now? Alright, good. Just for the record, all our equipment fritzed out when we came through the gate. Not getting anything over the coms, but the recorder seems to be working. Miller is going to look at the cameras now, but in the meantime, I'll do a quick description in case that doesn't work out.
Inside looks a lot like the outside. Just piles of junk. Maybe… Two meters by three? It's pretty irregular but generally claustrophobic. Some light filtering through from behind us, but we're going to need our torches going forward. Ground is mostly cans and pizza boxes, from the look of it. There's a little give, but it's not the worst terrain I've had to hoof it over.
I'm worried about the air though. It's hot, moist, and our torches are picking up a lot of particles. Masks are going to get clogged all to shit. If it proves to be a problem, I'm sending the team back early, and demanding some heavier duty stuff.
Cameras are working, just. Whole lot of static in the playback, so just to be safe I'll be taking audio notes so we have a record. We've been in here for most of an hour now, and other than the radio, everything seems to be working fine, so I'm making the call. We're continuing the mission.
Bianchi is bagging up samples from the floor and wall as we go, one every 20 meters or so. We'll get them looked at back at the house4, but it's clear already that the deeper we go, the more decomposed this stuff gets. All of the paper and cardboard is mulch, and the chunks Bianchi pulled out are all threaded with the same white shit we found around the gate. It's heavier the further we go in, more of the threads, or roots, or whatever you're meant to call the underground part of a mushro-
*Inaudible*
…Mycelium. Apparently. We've also found a few turnoffs in the tunnel, probably heading to other access points. We've stuck some flags in for the next team, and are continuing down the passage we're on, which seems mostly straight.
Miller made a suggestion, and we've turned our torches off for a minute. We're in far enough that the walls and floor are basically just compost with shit in it. Rusted metal, discoloured plastic, some more discernible stuff. Hit a 'vein' of old vinyl records half-a-K back, must have been hundreds of them all jumbled up and held in place by the Myceliums. Mycelium?
Anyway, Miller said he saw was light coming out of the samples in Bianchi's pack when he was helping load her up. It's not much, but with our torches off we can just about see a whole lot of little white nubs in the walls and ceiling. Look like bits of the mushroom poking through, and they're glowing white. Not ideal, but you could make your way through with just that.
Glad we don't have to.
Just had an accident. Bianchi put his foot through a soft patch of floor, probably just rotted hollow but we can't check now. He went down, made a fucking mess of the corridor with his flailing, and managed to pull his mask off.
Cleaned his mask off as best we could and got it back in place, but he's already stumbling a bit. I think he swallowed some of the shit in the air here. He's coughing into his mask. Doesn't look good.
Bianchi just threw up into his fucking mask. Made Miller clean it off, but the poor bastard is going to have to deal with that on top of the gunk stuck in the filter from his fall.
I'm calling it here. We stopped for a water break and Bianchi has stopped making sense. He's babbling about a headache, and about how pretty the lights are, how much he wants to take off his mask.
Sent Smithy off to check the last turnoff we passed about half an hour ago, she's quick on her feet. If it's a viable exit, I'm dragging Bianchi through there rather than trying to hoof it all the way to our entry point. Really looking forward to the chewing out I'll get for that, but hey.
Jesus. Jesus Christ, the kid- Bianchi is dead. He's fucking dead, he killed him-
Right, right. Fuck. OK, Smithy isn't back yet, but we're moving back that way anyway. Bianchi freaked out, tore off his mask before we could stop him and swallowed a handful of the mulch right from the wall. Poor bastard choked on it before we could help, it's just too damn hard to move in here, we couldn't hold him down to resuscitate, clear his airways, but given when a lungfull of this shit did to him I wasn't about to let Miller try.
Hope to meet Smithy coming back along the corridor. We're recovering Bianchi's body, the shitheads back at base will probably learn something real important from this.
*Inaudible*
Yeah, I know he's heavy. Shut up and move.
Note: 7:03 hours after entering SCP-XXXX at site-XXXX-1 Agents Howard, Smithy, and Miller exited SCP-XXXX via an abandoned apartment building in ██████████, Maine currently designated site-XXXX-2. The body of agent Bianchi was recovered, along with the samples gathered by the team. Agents Howard, Smithy, and Miller were confined under standard decontamination procedures, before being returned to active duty.
Externally formed SCP-XXXX gateway at site-XXXX-14.
Incident XXXX-b-14: On ██/██/2016 3 of the 8 SCP-XXXX-1 hosts under observation suffered from fatal cerebral hemorrhaging. The autopsies revealed a sudden increase in the mass of SCP-XXXX-1 mycelium structures within the hosts' cranial cavities, the sudden growth of which had damaged a number of blood vessels, leading to the death of all three hosts. Examination of the remaining hosts, all of which reported an increase in the severity of headaches and cranial pressure revealed identical patterns of mycelium growth, though minor differences in cranial anatomy allowed for this growth without causing hemorrhage.
A follow-up investigation into SCP-XXXX revealed a change in the layout of the LS-3 class pocket dimension containing it, and an additional 19 gateways leading to hitherto undocumented SCP-XXXX-1 infected structures. These structures have been claimed by the Foundation and a search for additional SCP-XXXX affected locations is currently underway.
Addendum XXXX-f-24: Dr. Leiran's work mapping the growth of SCP-XXXX-1 within human cranial cavities has revealed a possible link between the growth patterns of SCP-XXXX-1 and layout of SCP-XXXX. An investigation into this connection is ongoing, though initial results suggest both events began simultaneously.
A request to have Foundation personnel permanently stationed within SCP-XXXX has been approved, and is currently in development. Outposts within site-XXXX-2, XXXX-5, and XXXX-19 gateways are are expected to be fully functional by 2020.
A request to intentionally infect further subjects with SCP-XXXX-1 for the purpose of study is currently awaiting approval from the Ethics Committee.

'Wings' removed from SCP-XXXX. Note inconsistent colouration.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Safe
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-XXXX is to be contained within a standard open-air, large animal enclosure. During research, SCP-XXXX must be dosed with at least 700mg veterinary-grade ketamine and 120mg medetomidine via injection at 45-minute intervals.
Materials extracted from SCP-XXXX are to be stored on-site if deemed significant by Site-38 management and otherwise disposed of alongside other non-anomalous refuse.
Description: SCP-XXXX is a sphere of unidentified bird tissue approximately 1.4 meters in diameter, and weighing approximately 600 kilograms. The outer surface of SCP-XXXX is primarily wing and leg tissue, irregularly extending from the body of SCP-XXXX from points similar to the coracoid/wing-joint and hip joint of non-anomalous birds. These limbs are capable of partial-to-full movement, and if damaged (or removed), are shed before regrowing over the course of 2-3 weeks. As SCP-XXXX is unable to preen or otherwise maintain its feathers they are shed at an accelerated rate, with some portions of the sphere scratched bare by SCP-XXXX's talons.
The interior of SCP-XXXX is, similarly, an unevenly arranged collection of bird organs, primarily muscular and connective tissues, though with an extensive circulatory system comprised of multiple small hearts and muscular cavities. While biopsy has revealed some evidence of nervous tissue within SCP-XXXX, no brain has yet been discovered. Similarly, no digestive or respiratory organs have been found within SCP-XXXX. The energy required to maintain SCP-XXXX's tissues is believed to be internally generated, though how is currently unknown.
The tissues present in SCP-XXXX do not match any extant avian species but do closely resemble a number of medium-sized hawks and raptors. Individual limbs and tissues of SCP-XXXX vary in shape and coloration, though genetic testing has confirmed that SCP-XXXX is a single creature, rather than an amalgam of separate, distinct entities. SCP-XXXX is mobile, and despite lacking any identified sensory organs, acts to defend its 'territory'5 by charging or rolling towards intruders and striking them with its claws and wings.
SCP-XXXX is incapable of flight.
Initial Recovery: The Foundation was made aware of SCP-XXXX through the efforts of Foundation agents placed within ████████████ city municipal animal control. Tenants of the ██████ apartment building complained of an infestation, later discovered to be SCP-XXXX, trapped within a corridor on the 14th floor. SCP-XXXX had become wedged in an out-of-order elevator shaft, its scrabbling and shedding drawing the attention of tenants in the populated lower floors.
The body of the sole occupant of the 14th floor, the 53-year-old Arthur Pendleton was found within his apartment, having expired between 8 and 9 days before the recovery of SCP-XXXX. An examination of Arthur Pendleton revealed extensive scarring of the hands, chest, and face that match the claws of SCP-XXXX, the earliest of which are believed to be between 5 and 6 years old. Much of the apartment had been converted into a makeshift holding pen for SCP-XXXX.
At this time it is believed that the death of Arthur Pendleton was non-anomalous, and the result of an untreated infected wound caused by SCP-XXXX, leading to fatal sepsis. It is unknown why Arthur Pendleton did not seek medical assistance for what would have been an easily treated condition.

An instance of SCP-XXXX photographed on ██/██/2020.
Item #: SCP-XXXX
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: All instances of SCP-XXXX that enter Foundation custody are to be monitored by available staff and facilities until the death of SCP-XXXX-1 instances, at which point they are to be disassembled for further testing. Biological and mechanical remains of recovered SCP XXXX and SCP-XXXX-1 instances are to be disposed of through standard non-anomalous material disposal methods.
All ride-share applications and websites are to be monitored for possible signs of SCP XXXX activity, and major metropolitan areas in affected countries are to be monitored for reports of driverless vehicles and related disappearances.
Description: SCP XXXX is the collective designation of an unknown number of ‘driverless’ electric vehicles operating in major metropolitan areas in multiple countries6. Each instance of SCP XXXX is an anomalously modified vehicle matching those under development by █████ and ████████████. These vehicles are intended to be driverless, being controlled remotely or by on-board systems to cut down on labor costs.
The interior of an SCP-XXXX instance contains an instance of SCP-XXXX-1 integrated into the engine block, appearing to serve the function of both battery and systems to operate the vehicle. SCP-XXXX-1 are adult humans weighing between 75 and 110 kilograms. SCP-XXXX-1 subjects appear to have been placed within the mechanisms of the SCP-XXXX during construction, as they cannot be removed without completely disassembling the body of SCP-XXXX. The bodies of SCP-XXXX-1 are penetrated, and in the case of the steering shaft fully impaled by elements of SCP-XXXX, often passing through vital organs, disrupting their operation. This invariably includes the throat, rendering SCP-XXXX-1 incapable of vocalization. SCP-XXXX-1 instances appear to be conscious, and capable of some movement, though their position within SCP-XXXX instances limits this significantly. It is not believed that SCP-XXXX-1 instances are capable of damaging or escaping from SCP-XXXX instances in any way.
If an instance of SCP-XXXX is immobilized, significantly damaged (including all attempts to remove SCP-XXXX-1 from SCP-XXXX), or otherwise prevented from returning after the completion of a ride for longer than 15-20 minutes (the range is believed to be the result of differences in mass and condition of SCP-XXXX-1 instances) the SCP-XXXX-1 instance will expire, seemingly of the removal of the anomalous effect that prevents them from expiring from the damage to their organs caused by SCP-XXXX components. All functions of SCP-XXXX cease after the expiration of SCP-XXXX. The disassembly of SCP-XXXX vehicles and dissection of SCP-XXXX-1 cadavers has found no anomalous materials within either, and no explanation for the continued functions of SCP-XXXX-1 during their use as components of SCP-XXXX.
SCP-XXXX instances have appeared on all major ride-share applications in the affected countries, often arriving at requested pickup locations instead of the originally selected driver. In ~98% of instances, SCP-XXXX acts as expected, attempting to deliver the passenger to the location specified when the ride was requested, though SCP-XXXX vehicles have a high likelihood of taking alternate, often incorrect routes, or causing traffic incidents by ignoring road rules, particularly pedestrian crossings. The Foundation believes that around ███ pedestrians have been killed or injured in accidents involving SCP-XXXX since their discovery.
In approximately 2% of cases, SCP-XXXX will not deliver the passenger to their requested destination. Both vehicle and passenger will vanish within 5-10 minutes of entry. The Foundation has been unable to retrieve either vehicles or passengers that have disappeared in these instances, though as of XX/XX/2021 2 D-Class personnel lost during attempts to do-so have since been found integrated into SCP-XXXX instances as SCP-XXXX-1.
Initial Containment Report: SCP-XXXX first came to the Foundation's attention on ██/██/2018. An instance of SCP-XXXX answered a request for a pickup by Dr. Beatrice Laine, a member of Foundation staff as Site ██ for her morning commute. Dr. Laine attempted to contact ████ customer service to confirm that the apparently driverless vehicle was her intended ride but instead received the following messages via the app.
your driver is inside your driver is inside your driver is inside your driver is inside your driver is inside your driver is inside your driver is inside your driver is inside
it hurts
Dr. Laine, following standard procedures for out-of-office encounters with anomalous objects, contacted Site ██. The initial instance of SCP-XXXX was contained on arrival at Site-XXXX. Subsequent investigation alerted the Foundation to additional instances active outside of containment.
Further attempts to contact SCP-XXXX-1 instances have been unsuccessful.
Addendum: On ██/██/2020 a letter was delivered via courier to Site ██, believed to be in regards to SCP-XXXX. The message follows.
NOTICE TO CEASE AND DESIST
Dear Meddlers,
While we appreciate your interest in our advanced driverless vehicles, this notice is to inform you that further attempts to interfere with, and any attempt to copy our proprietary design will be considered a violation of XXXX copyright law.
We hereby demand that you cease and desist immediately. If you fail to comply, legal action will be brought against you in court for copyright infringement, and claims for damages in addition to injunctive and equitable reliefs will be sought.
Yours faithfully,
None of your business.
Attempts to locate the sender of this letter are ongoing. Despite the Foundation's continued testing and destruction of SCP-XXXX instances, no further communications have been received.
SCP-XXXX numbers active in affected countries have increased steadily since their initial detection. Disappearances attributed to SCP-XXXX still fall within the range of disappearances connected to non-anomalous ride-share and other app-based transport, however, at the current rate of expansion, the disappearance rate of SCP-XXXX passengers is expected to skew these numbers to the point where it will become infeasible to maintain information containment by late 2023.
SNAPPY FINAL LINE GOES HERE
