Keep cutting them back inch by inch until you find some green. Even if you cut it all the way back to the corm, that is ok as mushy means dead tissue. All of the brown, mushy stuff should be removed. Do not water the corm, in fact let it dry out somewhat.
If the corm did not freeze, it should soon let you know by pushing out new growth. You may have to wait a few weeks. Don't give up on it until there is a hole in the ground. If there is still a corm, there is still a chance.
