some crazy grub or tumor that was growing on this ear of corn
we threw it in the yard and the THING busted off the corn cob
it looks gross to me
i scooped it up into a little cleaned out plastic baby food container
i sent pix of it to dept of ag - see if they have a clue. I'd LOVE to know the pathology of this thing or the physiology of it - but i don't wana touch it - blah blech yuck YIKES!!!
this my friends btw is huitlacoche aka corn smut - indians revered it & white guys tried to eradicate it ... it's a fungus-type kinda like mushroom parasitic critter ♥
