Looks like it's simply flaring but got some, rather far progressed, fungal infection? I am totally guessing here just to be clear.

It does look like a growth on the evertible odontodes. Whether it's fungal (my first inclination) or not I am not sure.

I can say I've never seen that before.

Good luck,
Eric
