| Discovery Notes | The soil was dug from a patch of mushrooms about 60 feet away from a medium sized pond at 3:28pm. The soil was moist, moderately dense, and was a mix of dark brown and dark copper color. The weather at this time was moderately warm and it was very cloudy. |
| Naming Notes | The name Parzival is the alias of Wade Watts, the main character of the book "Ready Player One" paralleling the name of the Arthurian hero, "Percival", who was in tireless search of the Holy Grail following his initial failure to achieve it - a reflection of my own phage journey. The G initial at the end represents my first mentor, the one who taught me what it means to be ambitiously curious. |
