Can anybody guess what this is?




It's salt.
So now that you know what it is, do you know where it is?


It's on our garage floor. Most of it is about half an inch high. That one picture shows my glove in the background. Why does it grow this way? I don't know for sure. My best guess is that salt water has seeped into the porous concrete, then as it dries, the salty water comes back to the surface, leaving the crystals behind.

Of course.. naturally harvested salt might have the same things!
My first thought on the first photo was "bread"
