Ok, what the happened. You don't fry something like that without a clue.

OP claims straight gas, but that piston looks more like it ate something that it didn't like.

Maybe part of the ring? Ethenol poisoning will eat up a saw pretty quick. One of the most common terms I have heard right before grenading was, "It was running great!"
For the average home/farm owner I would always try to recommend the various canned versions of ethanol free fuel that was pre mixed. For the record all my small stuff right up to the 18 hp orange motorized goat for trimming the grass gets treated fuel ether pre mix for the 2 strokers and the 4 strokers get Stabil 360. Saves a lot of headaches and "seasons" the various carbs with "clean" fuel and mix/stabilizer.

That’s bad, definitely needs a new piston and cylinder.
