Dear Souod Alani, thank you for your message and your question, here in Mexico it grows natural if the rain gets into the husk of the corn or people add the water to push the growth of the fungus. About the laws and rules to farm it in your country, you have to check with your national and State agriculture department. Best wishes from Mexico, Lic. Chef David Jahnke

Also check out this video. You can contact mexican farmers for the inoculation kit. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5FKVtoJyAR.html

Thank you for your question, no it sadly does not freeze well but you can dehidrate them or brine them, just like other mushrooms :) Best wishes from Mexico

Thank you for your question, I would not wash it because its a fungus mostly made of moist and treating it with water would damge it and it would get mushy. Its growing on the fresh corn still being on the plant so there is no dirt on it so not necesary to wash it. Best wishes from Mexico :)

@@chefdavidjahnkecookingclasses thanks cause the spores made thought it was dirty

Sadly the GMO corn is modefide in a way that it wont make huitlacotche and the wind will contaminate your plants next to it, so it will be tough, but yes maybe with a very well sealed greenhouse

@@chefdavidjahnkecookingclasses God blessed me with another home thats also commercialized in town with a big yard ima grow my organic dent corn there and indoors grow mushrooms vertically. Thank you sooooo muuch for your help. Was gonna sell the home but now think a business is gonna come from our passion to grow this corn fir tamales

Thank you for your message, I recommend to not threw them away, try one of the recipes I have posted here in my channel, like the soup or maybe some quesadillas or somethng else, those taste great and have been here in America appreciated since the prehispanic times, those are great mushrooms and are considered a delicacy, maybe dont loke as lasty LOL, but they are :) Best wishes from Mexico
