I had seen a couple of recepta biological variants before, but the recepta umbrux was new. They were clinging to some tricky inclines on a rough and icy planet Blooe Dryou HG-J b1-0 A 4.

The bright blue skies of Blooe Dryou HG-J b1-0 A 11 contributed to some beautiful pictures of fonticulua lapida amethyst.

Another unusual fonticulua I hadn't seen before was the upupam amethyst variant found on Blooe Dryou MT-K b14-0 B 6. Also found on this planet was electrica radialem.

One of the trickiest fungoida biologicals to find has been the fungoida bullarum. They're usually clustered on the side of a mountain, but these were found on a relatively flat area on Blooe Dryou OJ-X d2-2 9.

Week 17 of the 4th Quadrant Expedition Leg 3 Middle Spiral ran from May 3rd through 9th, 2024.
