Saw this in my attic today and I recently had a breaker trip. Does this look shorted, or just like something rubbed off from a piece of wood or something else in the attic?

Wood sap or resin, or the electrician that installed it used it for butt floss.........
If it were shorted, it would be misshapen, bulged or otherwise distorted and heat disscolored. That is definitely surface crap.
Get it ? Butt floss, surface crap ?
LOL, thank you. Made me pretty nervous when I saw it. Could definitely rub it off, but I wasn't trying too hard in case the sheath was really burnt through. This is a terrible picture, but there appeared to be some "depth" when viewed in person. Thanks again.
Looks like poop to me. Smell it.
