The mystery image has been solved…mostly.  I got a correct response both on this blog as well as on Facebook (which reads the RSS feed for this blog).  Here is the original photo:

I spotted this coffee pot at an undisclosed location over the Christmas break.  Kinda of disgusting really.  Good thing I do not drink coffee.

Those of you who guess “mold” pat yourselves on the back.  Good job.

Stay tuned for the next Mystery Image.
