**Item #: SCP-9047**
**Object Class:**
Keter
**Special Containment Procedures**
SCP-9047 is contained within an approximately 25 km² facility extending underground.
The facility operates under strict security protocols that must be followed precisely, such as:
Constant Surveillance Patrols: To prevent containment failures, the foundation deployed 40 squads of armed guards around the perimeter of the base.
Thermal Regulation: Since SCP-9047's growth depends on ambient heat, internal temperatures are maintained below 5°C to inhibit expansion beyond containment limits.
Soil pH Control: The facility's soil is regularly treated to keep pH levels below 3, further restricting fungal proliferation.
Structural Reinforcement: Following Incident I and II during Experiment A.1, containment chambers housing infected subjects were reinforced with five additional layers of iron plating to prevent structural compromise.
**Description:**
SCP-9047, designated "Fungus Canibalis," morphologically resembles Psilocybe cubensis, but covers an abnormally vast area (~20 km²). Fruiting bodies increase in size toward the fungus center, reaching up to 20 meters in height. Spores are emitted via micropores in these fruiting bodies, inducing potent psycho-physiological effects upon inhalation.
The Foundation classifies the infection progression caused by the spores into five distinct levels:
1st Level: Initial inhalation causes mild pulmonary discomfort, with a 5% increase in lung volume.
2nd Level: Approximately 50 hours post-exposure, sensory degradation occurs — loss of about 50% in hearing, taste, touch, and smell — accompanied by blurred and reddened vision and ocular edema. Non-sapient hosts typically die at this stage, inexplicably drawn toward the fungal core, becoming organic substrate for SCP-9047.
3rd Level: Around 250 hours after infection, subjects develop paranoia, auditory and visual hallucinations usually involving fungal imagery, escalating to violent behavior including conspecific cannibalism.
4th Level: Following cannibalism, radical physiological transformations occur: hypertrophy of limbs, growth of epidermal mushrooms, photosynthetic foliar appendages generating nutrients, grayish skin tone, and subcutaneous lipid bubble clusters. Cognitive function declines to purely instinctual behavior.
5th Level: Extensive cannibalism integrates hosts into a collective consciousness derived from the fungus. Lipid bubbles cover most integument. Within ten days, subjects autonomously migrate to SCP-9047's core, where assimilation completes the infection cycle.
**Discovery report**
SCP-9047 was identified after satellite imagery revealed visible fruiting bodies, correlated with reports of anomalous behavior in nearby animals and humans.
The Foundation speculates the object originated from a radical mutation in a Psilocybe cubensis specimen.
**Experiment report**
Experiment A.1 — 03-29-2008
Objective: Monitor infection progression and behavioral changes in a Class-D subject exposed to spores.
Protocol: After exposure, the subject was isolated in a containment cell under continuous observation. Weekly interviews were conducted to assess mental state.
Result: The classification of the infection stage was established in levels 1 to 5. Security vulnerabilities identified and corrected.
**Incidents:**
[[div style="background-color:#FFF3B0; border:1px solid #E0C564; padding:10px;"]]
Incident I — 04-13-2008
During Experiment A, the infected Class-D subject breached containment, fatally attacked a researcher, and consumed one of their arms. The subject was recaptured without further casualties.

[[div style="background-color:#FFF3B0; border:1px solid #E0C564; padding:10px;"]]
Incident II — 04-27-2008
A second escape attempt by the infected subject was thwarted; the subject was contained and terminated before causing fatalities.

**Interviews:**
During Experiment A.1, a Class-D subject underwent weekly cognitive evaluations to monitor infection effects.

=Interview A.1 (Week 1 — Pre-infection) 03-29-2008=
Dr. ███████: How do you feel?
Class-D: So far, fine. What is my task here?
Dr. ███████: That will be addressed later. First, count backward from 10 to 1 while following this rod with your eyes.
Class-D: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Dr. ███████: Any family history of mental illness?
Class-D: No.
Dr. ███████: Have you ever used drugs or hallucinogens?
Class-D: Never.
Dr. ███████: Understood. Proceed to your assigned area.

=Interview A.2 (Week 2 — 7 days post-infection) 04-06-2008=
Dr. ███████: How do you feel today?
Class-D: ... I don't know.
Dr. ███████: Any discomfort?
Class-D: I feel like my eyes and lungs are going to explode. Vision is very blurry.
Dr. ███████: Can you count backward from 10 to 1?
Class-D: Yes. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, ...4..., ...3..., 1.
Dr. ███████: Thank you for your cooperation; if this continues, you may be released from the program soon.

=Interview A.3 (Week 3 — 14 days post-infection) 04-13-2008=
Dr. ███████: How do you feel today?
Class-D: Who are you?
Dr. ███████: I am Dr. ███████, lead researcher on SCP-9047 and Experiment A.
Class-D: What experiment? You're on their side aren't you?. I WILL KILL YOU.
Dr. ███████: Please calm down or alternative measures will be necessary. Now, count backward from 10 to 1.
Class-D: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
Class-D: Goodbye, Dr. ███████. Sweet dreams in hell.

=Interview A.4 (Week 4 — 21 days post-infection) 04-20-2008=
Dr. ████: Good afternoon. I expect more cooperation than last time. How are you today?
Class-D: ...
Dr. ████: Cooperation is required; lack thereof may result in loss of privileges.
Class-D: ...
Dr. ████: At least count backward from 10 to 1. Can you do that?
Class-D: …
Dr. ████: I see no reason to continue. Interview terminated. Guards will escort you to the cell.
