if that spot is not soft then it's damage from squash bugs, at least that's what i attribute that to and they also cause a scabbing. any squash with either will not store as long as unblemished but they still store a long time. i use the blemished ones first. you should let butternut sit another 3 or 4 weeks in storage as the sugars intensify in storage.
