| Discovery Notes | The soil was near flowers underneath the mulch. It was mostly organic and moist. It was 7:52pm and 77 degrees F outside. |
| Naming Notes | I like simple names like Phil but Phil was taken. So I thought of short words that started with the letter F and fig came to mind. After substituting 'ph' for 'F' I thought the name Phig was great. Also, Phig can be a nickname for figment. In the beginning of the lab, I thought phages were a figment because my original sample did not contain phage. |
