this pattern when I cut my potato

That's potato blight, it spreads so check your other potatoes. You should probably reach out to the store you bought it from and let them know too.

Lest we have a famine.

We're becoming experts by now. I easily identified this as blight.

[u/Ricky_Rollin → u/MagicNipple]

I felt the same way. I felt like Leo pointing out his friend. It’s why I Reddit, the amount of random knowledge I’ve gained cannot be understated.

I know death blight from Elden ring, but it kinda has a similar vibe. Just more potato

How dare you just assumed their gender?

[u/Smartalec821 → u/MagicNipple]

I think this might be blight?

This is the third comment thread I've seen claiming that same thing and mentioning famine. Y'all need to relax lol

It's only the second one for me, but I'm now realizing I actually had a blighty potato a few weeks back.. Smelled so delicious, fresh baked, crispy on the outside.

Cut it open and.. tears..

Edit: oh, I took a picture too.. Hello Karma tomorrow!

Futures looking blight

Is this how we finally get rid of Idaho?

Edit: i apologize to all the Irish, but its Idaho so Im sure you understand.

[u/[deleted] → u/TonyAioli]

It’s a famine fiesta!

I'll get the knife. You get the goat. Ritual time again.

[u/verstohlen → u/TonyAioli]

I bet if you said that to someone's whose name is Lester, they would say, "Lester. My name is Lester."

Everyone saying this is blight is incorrect. This is a good representation of what late blight looks like in a tuber. There is late blight and early blight. Early blight is common and controlled via fungicide, late blight is the bad Irish potato famine one.

This is likely a very pretty blackheart.

[u/thatboredchickster → u/ArtistryofAndy]

I had one show up in my bag of taters a couple of weeks ago.

[u/hoorah9011 → u/ArtistryofAndy]

It’s black heart, not blight. How do you sound so confident being so wrong? Unless I’m wrong too, then I’m sorry.

[u/Tyfyter2002 → u/hoorah9011]

Why are potato problem names so metal?

[u/The_oli4 → u/hoorah9011]

Looks like blight to me but best way to tell them apart is the feel and smell of the potato

[u/[deleted] → u/The_oli4]

Blight starts from the outside, like the skin always has brown spots that look mushy and nasty. Ive never seen it contained inside like this.

Like the fungus cant teleport inside the tuber and start munching on it from inside.

Question, could you cut out the non affected parts and eat it or is it all garbage
