| Discovery Notes | soil: Near a bush, slightly moist, dark, black soil plates: lots of yeast and fungi, terrible lawn, a few possible plaques |
| Naming Notes | Named after the character/species in the Marvel Venom comics because the bacterial goop and gunk looked like the symbiote when transferring the aqueous phase of the lysate mixture. |
