Huitlacoche [wee-tlah-KOH-cheh] AKA Mexican Corn Truffle is a fungus which grows naturally on ears of corn. The fungus is harvested and treated as a delicacy. In Mexican homes, cooks traditionally use white mushrooms for this soup, but it is also delicious with other varieties or a combination of mushrooms. Recipe from Iliana de la Vega as published in the Houston Chronicle.
