2026, for me, is the year of the Mexican truffle! The corn truffle. Huitlacoche. Ustilago maydis, a basidiomycete fungus that infects maize (Zea mays), transforming developing kernels and other tissues into large fungal galls. Those young galls are harvested and eaten before they become dry and powdery with mature spores. It’s a corn puffball!!

I was able to taste it in southern Arizona at a beautiful Central American restaurant. And yes, of course it was in tacos! And it was absolutely deliciously Devine! I highly recommend trying it if you get a chance!

Huitlacoche has a long history in Mexican and Mesoamerican food traditions. 🌽🍄 Rather than treating it as a crop disease, Mexican cuisine celebrates its rich, earthy flavor in dishes such as quesadillas, tamales, soups, and sauces.

Good truffle dog. Bad truffle behavior. 🐕‍🦺🍄😂

A good truffle dog wants to hunt ALL YEAR LONG.

Unfortunately, right now is not the time.

Those tiny baby truffles are developing underground, and they need time to grow and mature. An enthusiastic truffle dog digging now can disturb or uncover immature truffles long before they’re ready.

So this time of year, the best truffle dogs have to practice a very difficult skill:

STAY OUT OF THE TRUFFLE ORCHARD. 😂

Someone apparently missed that memo.

Sorry, Jasper. Your nose is excellent. Your timing is terrible. ❤️🍄🐾
