The suitable tool to break sculk is any type of hoe.
Sculk drops 1 experience when it's destroyed using a tool without Silk Touch.
Sculk drops itself when it's destroyed using a tool with Silk Touch.
Sculk naturally generates in patch formations in the deep dark biome or any sculk patches.

Sculk blocks generate when a mob dies within 8 blocks of a sculk catalyst, replacing blocks in the area with the sculk_replaceable tag, which includes the surface blocks of most biomes in all three dimensions:
Sculk blocks are primarily used for decoration. They have an animated texture that consists of glowing spots, but they do not illuminate the surroundings. It has a similar texture of an end portal viewed from above.
Sculk, when connected to sculk catalysts, is used to grow a patch of sculk. See sculk catalyst for more details.
