| Discovery Notes | Date: 09/07/2017 Time: 16:13 Temperature: 72 F Depth: 3 cm Moisture content: moist Soil was found in an elevated planter. There is no foot traffic where the soil was found. Located in a suburban area. Had not rained in the past few days however the soil was still fairly moist the further down the soil was retrieved from. The surface from which the soil was obtained was level. Cluster identified following DOGEMS via PCR with cluster-specific primers. |
| Naming Notes | This name is based on a television series called Stranger thing. In the show there was an "entity", named the mind flayer, which acted as a virus and caused destruction to other species in order to make itself stronger. Phages act very similarly to the mind flayer in the show. They take over hosts and use them to strengthen and produce more of themselves. |
