| Discovery Notes | The sample site was taken at an empty corner section of a plant garden bed, adjacent to many small trees and shrubs. Dirt appeared to be darker in this area than the rest. It was slightly hard to dig dirt (dense & dry) (broke my wooden spoon). Slightly shaded area (by the trees and the adjacent building). Sample collected on a slightly cool (26 degrees celcius) and windy day. |
| Naming Notes | The name is inspired by the movie and the song Kill Bill, replacing the B with a Ph, hence why there are two l’s. |
