i learned about huitlacoche in a plant disease class like a decade ago when learning about fungal disease cycles. still haven't had the opportunity to try it, but i would.

even ignoring the ethics, its far less weird, biologically, than feeding corn to ruminants and eating the products of that. it's using a living corn stalk as a substrate to cultivate fungal fruiting bodies. fungus are very efficient at turning complex structures into simple bioavailable nutrients.
