Hey everyone, first time growing corn and one of the cobs is looking positively haunted, I'm pretty sure these are enlarged kernels, have anyone seen something like this? Know why it happens? And if it ripens, is it safe to eat?

Fungus?

Yeah, corn smut is a fungus and is basically a super tasty mushroom, you can make tacos with it
