crud while boiling

Hey Guys

I was wondering if anyone knew what the material was that usually accumulates on the inside of the boil kettle while boiling; that brown layer of gunk that usually contains some hops.

I have always scrapped it into the kettle thinking it was hop matter but im starting to think its not.

Thanks All

It usually has a ton of hot break material in it, and should stay on the pot and not in the wort.
