Weekend visit to local pumpkin patch farm corn maze and found this on one of the ears of corn. For those corn growers out there, What is it?

Corn Smut, I believe?
Thank you, thought it might be a product of wasps, immediately began to look around for the buggers!

Hold on to your hat, Jerry. I had to Google corn smut and it turns out that huitlacoche, or corn fungus or corn truffles are non-poisonous, edible, and a delicacy, especially in Mexico. For myself, it's an ear of corn I would not buy.

Me either! Scaried the crap out of my wife and daughter. As a child in Missouri and California where my father help grow a lot of corn, never saw anything like it.

In Mexico it is called huitlacoche. You can google it and find recipes. I particularly like it to be used for a soup.
