| Discovery Notes | Found outside of O'Shaughnessy Hall, a dorm on Virginia Tech's campus. It was in an area well maintained but not routinely walked on by students. The area was not in close proximity to animals, large trees or bushes, or bodies of water. |
| Naming Notes | As it was found outside of O'Shaughnessy Hall I named my phage after a play on words of the dorm name. There is a popular Key and Peele skit called Substitute Teacher where the consistently mispronounce names, including O'Shaughnessy. |
