After reflexion and the reading of your message,I'm sharing your posiiton with a possible origin of excessive watering at the final stage when tuber rippening; Curiousely,only extra large tuber seem to be sensible and present this state. Problems with fungus attack are frequent after harvest and they need to be regulary controlled during the winter storage.Tuber base look like the skin of Dioscorea elephantipes. I will leave them in fungicide bath before storage. A 13 kg big tuber is seriousely dammaged and had probably loosed weight. Paeoniifolius are also large,but I never occured this problem.

Speaking of hibernation, I just dug up my Synandrospadix vermitoxus to pot it and bring it in the house. There are several cracks in the bottom of the tuber. I wasn't sure if it did this itself or if it was from me trying to pry the tuber out of the ground (which was a little hard). Anyone have any ideas? I should have taken a picture....
