I stumbled upon something interesting about a fungus that grows on Mexican corn. Does anyone know if this is edible and safe to consume? I'm curious about trying it but want to make sure it's okay first. Any advice or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

That sounds intriguing! The fungus you're referring to might be "huitlacoche," a traditional Mexican delicacy. It’s edible and often used in dishes like quesadillas and soups. Just make sure it’s from a reliable source to ensure it’s safe. Enjoy the adventure!
