Ewwww! Gross!

Not sure what to say; What do you think this is?

(Ken and I both returned home with head colds...we'll survive!)

[Mary Siegle]

Not sure. It doesn’t really look like a potato, but it does look like potato sprouts growing out of it. Thanks for including the knife for context.

[Lisa Poland]

I think it’s a potato that has sprouted. Feel better soon.

[summerfield]

alien?🤣

[LManning (Laura)]

I’m going with wet sprouted potato. And ewww.

[Lou Ann]

I’m not sure I would eat it! 😅

[Louise & Ken]

@mcsiegle @homeschoolmom @ljmanning @louannwarren @summerfield Not a potato...though I once saw a "Potato Bug" that looked a bit like this...*really* icky gross! ...next???

[KWind]

Cool close up!

[gloria jones]

Oh gosh...Get better.

[John Falconer]

Since it’s not a potato I’m lost.

[Issi Bannerman]

Jerusalem artichoke?

[Casablanca]

Dead flea?

[FunnyFace]

It is without doubt, a dead alien!

[Susan Wakely]

I’m going with sprouting potato and that was before I saw other comments. So obviously wrong.

[Joanne Diochon]

Something you should have thrown out a few weeks ago?

[Pam Knowler]

I love dead alien! 🤪🤪🤪 it does look gross!

[Agnes]

I don’t know it’s creepy

@mcsiegle @homeschoolmom @ljmanning @louannwarren @kwind @seattlite @johnfalconer @jamibann @casablanca @blightygal @wakelys @gardencat Thank you all for playing along... I've wanted a reason to get out my macro lens and, having fallen behind, I thought to give this a go... Keep reading...
@summerfield @pamknowler from the outset, alien seemed a great guess!
HOWEVER... the answer is : An avocado pit that had already plentifully-grown roots when first cut open! The avo was delicious, and in a story follow up, it was one of two the raccoons knocked down when they raced up the tree!

[haskar]

Lovely details.

[Louise & Ken]

@agnesvanderlindeicloudcom @haskar Thank you for playing along! This is an avocado pit that already has a lot of roots! I'll put it in water and wait 17 years for another tree! (hahaha!)

[Pyrrhula]

Do this with several indoor plants to give awey.

[Louise & Ken]

@pyrrhula I currently have 4 avocado saplings growing in my kitchen window... Out here, no one needs big trees in their gardens! If they actually grew hearty, I don't know where *I* would put them!

[Lou Ann]

An avocado seed. Well how was there any room for the flesh of the avocado fruit with all of those roots?! I’m quite amazed.
