The infected corn is edible; in Mexico, it is considered a delicacy, called huitlacoche.

    I’ve had it in a quesadilla. Tasted like white button mushrooms to me. It was OK. Maybe it was over powered by the other flavors.

      Maybe it varies. The stuff I have had, including growing my own, was quite strong and reminiscent of truffles.
