Rye is the most common place ergot grows, which is another common bread grain. I am not disagreeing with your post, and ergot can grow on wheat too, just pointing out that rye is a much more common source of egot contamination.

I dont really know these things but i always just assumed rye (and barely) was just a kind of wilder less domesticated wheat.
