I left a couple basjoos out for the winter in the ground to see if I could get them to make it. They were covered with mulch and cones.
Anyways fast forward to now. Upon uncovering them I saw there was a lot of rot on the surface. Exposing them to the dry air didn't help any either so I dug them up to see if there was any parts that were hard.
I've been watching them the last few days and cleaning off the rot as best as possible hoping they'll dry out and i'll have something left that's nice and hard. Tonight I cleaned off the rot and I'm encountering what looks literally like a banana material that is hard. My question is, do I have anything here? What do I do next? Keep letting them dry or would something happen if I just dug a hole and threw the whole mass in it? Here's a pic of what I'm dealing with. I have a couple of these in this shape.
