Have you been keeping that inside? Many species of hardy temperate bamboos cannot handle indoor conditions due to the lack of humidity and air flow. That unfortunately looks like a goner unless you try to revive it by bringing it back outside, and trying to separate them would easily kill it off. Temperate bamboos are meant to be planted in the ground outdoors in its natural environment.

Those look like very young rhizome division likely taken during the summer. Were they shriveled up when you received them?

Anyways this is how yellow groove bamboo should look. These are my 2-5 gallon divisions which are 5-10ft tall depending on the size, and I give them 1 year of establishing before they are sold.
