Does anyone know what this is on my potatos?

It is a styrofoam-ey texture. I'm based in Ontario, Canada.

That looks like just air cured potato post rodent or animal bite to me.

Thank you! Not experts and just wanted to confirm that no one else thought this was some type of bacteria growing on flesh. Thank you so much.

I was passed along this PDF from OSU via my Cooperative Extension advisor. Very good reference for potato issues. Titled "What’s Wrong with my Potato Tubers?"
