This here is a genetically susceptible 113 day variety to fusarium kernal rot. This is a nasty little fungus that produces all sorts of mycotoxins that can give any mammal that consumes it a belly ache or even death. It’s easily identifiable by the white streaks in causes in the kernals.
So it’s not the corn smut that I crave?

Corn smut (Ustilago maydis), on the other hand, is supposed to be tasty.

Huitlacoche is quite tasty. I’ve had it several times in Mexico.

It’s quite buttery but it can be an acquired taste.
