Google recipes for huitlacoche.  I use it in eggs, quesadillas, and things where cooked mushroom would taste good.  It would match really well with pasta, but not the most appealing visually; but as a pasta stuffing, really good.  It’s sometimes marketed as the Mexican Truffle, which sounds better than “corn smut,” but I don’t think it’s descriptive.  “Corn mushroom” better describes the flavor.  However, it does taste good in any most recipes that would taste good with truffles.  Different taste, yet very good substitute.

You should be happy if you get corn smut. It is even more delicious than the corn

Haven't seen any in my corn this year. But often do, nice large growths. How does one fix it?
