My name is Julia, and I am a researcher at Bergen Community College. My research this Summer is concerning the most effective cultivation of huitlacoche fungus. For a little background information: I am growing four kinds of sweet corn and one popcorn variety. We are only able to get the spores in a syringe to be injected into the plants, with one website selling it suggesting that we inject at the very base of the cobs.
Thank you for taking the time, and I hope to read any responses on the subject that I can.
A quick googlescholar search returned a pub "Production of Cuitlacoche [Ustilago maydis (DS) Corda] on Sweet Corn".

They appear to have tested a number of methods including "injecting sporidial suspensions into the sixth to eighth internodes". This might be the method you need?
