This thing was lingering in my throat, so i coughed it out. It looks like a broken off piece of a peanut (the white part), but it's like a peanut that's been soaked in water for a day, it's not as brittle. And it smells pretty gross. If i were to pack it together, it would have a diameter of 2-3mm's. What could it possibly be? I REALLY don't think it's food that i've eaten. The only clues that give it away are the texture, smell, and color. I do always have a bunch of crap in my throat in the morning, could this be related?
I just coughed up a foul smelling, semi-hard "crumb" thing, WTF is this?

Well, you were told to gargle when you got your part time fluffer job. A piece just dried up that's all.
Yeah, some people just have those! No need to worry about it....if it happens a lot (and I mean all the time!), just go see a ENT Doctor and he will most likely just rinse out the back of your throat with a syringe and saline. In the meantime, gargle with salt water really well back there....things get stuck sometimes!

The smell can be from debris from your nose or left over food...often times, it contributes to really bad breath, hence the notion of gargling really well!
ENT = Ears Nose Throat Doctor! Sorry!
Yah it can be the result of post-nasal drip, phlegm, food particles, or boogers. Basically your snot decided to harden up and crawl into your throat.

When I had sinus problems My ENT doc told me to 'wash my nose' Basically get a warm cup of water & disolve 1 teaspoon of salt in it and then suck it up through my nose and expell through my mout :Q
It was very uncomfortable at first but it sure did get a lot of crap out. I had an enlarged Adanoid that was causing me sever sleep apnea and multiple ear infections over 2 years when I never had one in my entire life. Lucky for me I had an operation and my sleep apnea is now in control.

I get them too
ENT = Ears, Nose, & Throat Doctor
i've gotten those.. it's really quite gross.. i didn't think anyone else got them, but i guess i was wrong
Eww.. once I blew a booger out of my nose that was surrounded by a thick layer of mucus. It was about as large as a penny.
It's called a sneeze nugget, usually formed in the back of the throat around the area of the tonsils and tend to show up more commonly when you're fighting a minor illness. Caught a cold lately by chance?
No cold. I've been taking vitamins and staying fit--trying to fight off sickness for as long as i can. It's been working well so far!
Hah, yeah, i figgured that pictures wouldn't be appropriate. Either way, if you really want to know, just picture a broken off piece of a peanut.
hahaha! Exactly the same as me. This is one of those things that the Internet is great for! I always was quite disturbed by the disgusting little things
but I was NOT about to go up to someone and say 'Hey, I am caughing up little white chunks of something that smells like sh!t'. But on the internet one can admit all thier disgustingness! woohoo.
