The tulip appears to be in a pot in the picture - is the problem that you want to plant this tulip in the bed but haven't yet? If you haven't planted it yet, I would not. There are fungal diseases that are specific to tulip (only affect tulips) and there are fungal diseases that can affect tulips plus other bulbs. Without knowing for sure what this is better to be safe than sorry. Is this one of several tulips from the same source though?
