Went outside and grabbed one of my plants where you can see this best on, this one is my Bulb. carunculatum. Pic 1, growth is almost complete, so should be fine, but I pulled back the membrane around the jelly and am holding one of the white fibers you are talking about. Pic 2 is what those white fibers turn into. Pic 3 is what the membrane and fibers look like if it just develops normally and I don’t get the jelly pouch. The outer membrane is really just a bulb sheath -edit: or rhyzome sheath- and those fibers are part of the structure the sheath. If you look at the base of the sheath you can see where that has started to come away as the bulb grew and see the fibers exposed.
