The walnuts were husked within a few days of being picked up, and they were picked up from the ground within a couple of days of hitting there.

Lee,

Another guess...did you husk at harvest? I've found that unlike butternuts, my black walnuts dry out and shrivel very quickly if not husked right away.

I appreciate all the suggestions for my dried out, blackened black walnut meats. Unfortunately, none seem that viable to me. As far as drought, other local black walnuts seem to have done fine. As far as frost or insects, I would think that the fruits would have dropped. Any other suggestions?

Just guessing,
 
Could it be one of those little plum curculios?
 
If it is fungal, how about checking the copper, sulfur, manganese and boron levels.
