Can you see any tunnels? Carrot fly is a real pain!
no they where just black but no tunnel's
Could it be sclerotinia disease? I hope not for your sake! White fluffy fungus growth develops on the roots followed by hard black structures a half inch or more in length. These are the resting bodies of the fungus. This fungus falls off and contaminates the soil, remains dormant over winter and then gives rise to spores which attack plants again in spring. Any affected roots need to be pulled up and burned.
