| Discovery Notes | The sampling was performed at the GPS coordinates 42.65892 N, 71.13494 W. The dirt was removed from the ground with a shovel and placed into a clean sandwich bag using a glove on my hand. The hole dug is located to the center bottom of the image where there is a clearing in the wood chips. The sample was pretty wet as it had rained the day before. The distance from the surface of the soil was about a couple inches. The temperature at the time of the sampling was 57 F while humidity was 86%. The sample was collected roughly an hour before isolation and was transported at room temperature. |

| Plaque Notes | The individual plaques range from .1 centimeters to .3 centimeters and there are so many that it is hard to decipher definitively. The edges are clear and the plaques clear. The dilution 10-1 yielded the most plaques and they are all heterogenous. There were too many plaques to count. The plates -3 and -5 did not show any plaques. |
