Aren't they goofy? I'm a tad afraid of their slipperiness on my tongue, but they were affordable so worth the experiment. Before you know it these gourmet little truffles will be $29 a pound. Josh has some pretty serious ambitions for these guys, and I think he will be inspired by some of these sites: Professor introduces unusual edible fungus to Madison, Corn Fungus Tamales: Tamales de Huitlacoche, and this information straight from Mexico.
Would you, could you, try these? They are fascinating.

Well, I've not known that it was a delicacy (although, I think we'd joke about the Japanese liking it) I've been seeing this 'crap' in corn fields all my life. It's usually not very well received by Nebraska corn farmers! You'll have to tell me how the dish turns out. I'll send the recipe to my dad if it's any good.
