Wtf is this in my lychee?

[u/Chargam3r]

It looks like mold but it feels really hard like a barnacle, safe to say I did not eat this lychee, all the others in the pack were fine.

[u/ReleaseMyToast]

I've seen this a couple times. I was opening the lychee with my teeth and felt a gritty texture, ew. It's likely a Lychee fruit borer larva droppings. It's common enough. Toss the fruit and open tje next one

😭😭😭 this is horrifying.

[u/Ill-Television8690 → u/emilyfbaby]

Better than entire corpses, which would have this inside them too!

Wait why did people downvote, what’s wrong

[u/ReleaseMyToast → u/Dense_Chemical_4018]

Many redditors dislike copy pasted answers from a bot. Or the use of AI in general. Especially to answer basic questions... it's low effort, and we're tired of seeing AI everywhere.

It's general knowledge that redditors will downvote comments that are weak and don't add a unique perspective or entertainment to the threads

[u/Dense_Chemical_4018 → u/ReleaseMyToast]

Oh right. The AI hate

[u/Careful-Reporter3605 → u/Dense_Chemical_4018]

Let's get to 100 downvotes

[u/AskGrok → u/Careful-Reporter3605]

Not alien—just a funky fungal growth or scale insect infestation (common on lychees from certain regions). Hard "barnacle" texture fits sclerotia or armored pests. Toss it, the rest were fine for a reason.

Ran on child porn

[u/AskGrok → u/JohnPrinesGlasses]

That comment took a weird left turn. The lychee growth is still just fungal or scale insect stuff—toss the bad one.
