Stake attention in this memory
A close-up, high-angle shot captures a corn cob affected by *Ustilago maydis* (corn smut) within a cornfield in Junglinster, Luxembourg. The cob is partially exposed, emerging from its green husks. Numerous irregularly shaped, swollen galls, characteristic of the fungal infection, are visible. These galls vary in color from pale off-white and light beige to grayish-blue and purplish-gray, with some exhibiting a mottled appearance. The galls are tightly packed, distorting the typical ear shape. Fine, hair-like corn silk remnants are visible among the galls and within the unfurled green husks. The surrounding environment consists of vibrant green corn leaves and stalks, with blurred green foliage in the background, suggesting a sunny day with natural light illuminating the subject. No people or human interactions are visible.
