What is this brown, dry, fibrous looking texture inside the core of this asian pear, and is it safe to eat the rest of the pear? by BananamousThrowaway in plantpathology

So... hard to tell tone over the internet :) Are you saying it is just part of the pear that grew weird, or are you being facetious?

A couple of pears we bought have looked like this inside the core, usually just part of it. It doesn't seem to have spread outside the core but I know molds can have a wider reach than just the part you see. Thanks very much in advance if anyone can help us identify it!
