Corn Smut example
Corn smut is a common disease, or mold that infects the corn causing the cob to grow at an accelerated rate. Common in high humidity and wet environments. Actually a delicacy in many places in the world, including Mexico, but the smut must be harvested in its early stages. This example is no longer edible.
