I went ahead and pulled the corm out. It was still firm, but when I went to cut away some suspicious stuff, it was rotted. It's strange, though, because it looks like the center of the corm is rotted. I was not expecting this.
I cut away as little as possible, which now leaves about 75% of the corm, and tried to dig out the rotted stuff from the center of the corm after I cut away some stuff from the side. It's a little hard to explain, I guess. I don't know how to embed a picture in the post, but I put some pics in my gallery.
I am assuming the center/top of the corm is the important part, and without it, it won't grow back? I remember something about a meristem...
Or should I cut some more off the top and make sure there is no more rot in the center, and maybe it will start growing a pup off the side of the corm?
I've got the cut corm drying for now, and it still has nice roots which I left with soil on them. I just don't know how long I can/should let the corm dry.
