| Discovery Notes | The sample was collected in a mulch bed behind a parking garage. The soil was damp, as it had stormed several hours prior to the soil collection. There were dumpsters 10 meters away from the bed. It was found in an urban environment, and it was not very close to a walkway (around 10-20 meters away from the walkway). Collected 15 minutes before direct isolation. |
