If you throw this away, you will lose something much more valuable than the corn itself. This is Corn Smut also known as Corn Truffles or Mexican Truffles, a fungus that we are taught to destroy and discard immediately, when in fact it’s the best part of the corn, and when you see it, you should rejoice. Corn Smut is EXTREMELY delicious, by far the tastiest mushroom that I’ve tasted. It tastes like a cross between mushrooms, fresh corn, and black truffles. These bulbs called “galls” can range be

This is definitely one of the widest things I have ever tried- video number 8 huitlacoche! Also known as corn smut- many call this the Mexican truffle. It has a soft texture and an almost vinegar like taste 🌽 As a kid we were always told corn line this was bad when I’m reality it’s delicious. I dehydrated some to make a salt then made it into a street corn type of dish. I love huitlacoche so much and hope to get to experiment with more this year #reels | Soozie the Foodie

Woah, what is that?Huitlacoche, also called corn smut (Ustilago maydis) or the Mexican truffle, is a fungus that grows on corn cobs. It forms when two single spore cells called sporidia meet on the surface of a host plant. Here, the two cells will mate and fuse to form a long, root-like arm called the hypha, which enters into the corn and begins to infect the host. Once infected, the corn kernels will swell and grow into these galls, which release more huitlacoche spores as they mature. Despite

Huitlacoche is a fungal mold that grows on corn. Often called corn smut or Mexican truffle, it’s considered a delicacy with its uniquely sweet, earthy, funky, antique corn flavor. Use the huitlacoche to season soups, stuff it in a quesadilla or stir it into pasta for a dramatic presentation similar to squid ink. We were lucky enough to find this beauty in Minnesota, so ask around at the farmers market, you may be in for a treat. | Andrew Zimmern

Huitlacoche, also known as the "Mexican truffle," is an edible fungus that forms on undeveloped corn ears and sells for as much as $40 a pound. Discovered by the Aztecs, the bulbous fungus has been consumed in Mexico for centuries and has recently become an increasingly popular specialty ingredient around the world. However, the US has dedicated significant time and money to keeping its cornfields free of what they call "corn smut" and "the devil's corn." Huitlacoche forms naturally during the r
