This could be dried smegma, dirt, or dried crusty blood. You may want to wash it off carefully with warm soapy water, then rinse well and inspect the penis. If the skin looks spotty, or injured or is bleeding you should take Mutt to a veterinarian for an exam. Watch Mutt urinate. If the urine look any other than light yellow in color, also take him to a vet for an exam.
