Hey Garden.org community!
I've been Googling this for a while and can't come to any definitive answer so I was hoping you could help. I've grown potatoes for a number of years now. On a relatively small scale, admittedly, but big enough for my needs! This year, a number of my potato crops have started to show dark/black lumps & marks on the outside skin of the potato themselves. This is mostly limited to a small section at the moment, though of course I'm worried this might spread.
A few quick searches later and I found this image, which most resembles what I'm seeing at the moment:
So far my searching suggests this might be Black Scurf/Rhizoctonia Solani (more info here
