My potato had a mushroom shaped internal cavity
(lemmy.world)
Hadn't seen this before - I wonder if that was once on the potato outside and then grew closed?
It's just two internal holes that happen to look like a mushroom together. I've had potatoes with one of those holes before.
I believe they are caused by lack of water or just happen sometime.
Here's an example that doesn't look like a mushroom, and had been cooked: https://www.eatortoss.com/whats-up-with-this-freaky-hole-inside-my-baked-potato/
Haha - I love it.
Don't you just use the stabby end of your potato peeler and core out all the brown spots?
I do. Apparently for those internal growth deficiencies it's not needed, but I still wouldn't wanna eat that :D
