It's called a "fasciated" growth. It happens when something damages the growing point. Most any plant can become fasciated. It can be caused by bacteria, fungi, insect feeding/burrowing, frost, mutations...you may never know what caused your hosta's fasciation, but it's nothing to worry about. It usually doesn't repeat the next year, and it's rarely contagious. If it looks too creepy, just cut it off. John

Thanks LanieLynee, our Kirklands closed a couple years ago. I do have one about 45 minutes away. Looks like I need to make a trip!

"If the mirror is pitted or cloudy do not change it!" Even Versailles' hall of mirrors is being reconditioned. Old mirror technology often used actual silver ad was subject to long term damage. Newer mirrors use aluminum and have a longer life expectancy. If you have a new mirror installed to replace an old one, save the old one anyway.

That looks like a Danco replacement cartridge, and a piece is missing. Either go to a hardware store and get an actual Delta cartridge, or call Delta and they'll ship one to you. Pull out the cartridge to make sure you get the one that matches, as they changed the design at some point.
