| Discovery Notes | This was collect from the soil surrounding a post that was driven into the ground along the GAP trail over looking the river. It was collected from the top layers of the soil. It was sunny and hot, 85 degrees F that day. |
| Naming Notes | Kvothe is the name of one of my favorite characters so I thought to name a phage after him was fitting. Especially a phage that has such small plaques since most people underestimate Kvothe. It is pronounced very similarly to quothe. |
