I bet somehow the peduncle got hurt and the pod was withering from lack of nutrients. They are not ripe. I am sorry! They turn dark when ripe. Some say they have had luck with such immature ones if they quickly pot them up. I have tried, but I do not think I was ever successful.

A ripe pod shucked.
