Corn smut

Huitlacoche, also known as corn smut, is a fungus that grows on ears of corn in Mexico, where it is harvested and valued as an ingredient in traditional cuisine. It has a dark, earthy flavor and is commonly used in dishes like quesadillas, tacos, and soups, often sautéed with onions, garlic, and epazote. This delicacy is seasonal, appearing during the rainy months, and is available fresh or canned in markets across the country.
