A fish I caught -- or mushroom? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agaric

'mushroom?' is the definition.
(mushroom is a kind of agaric)

'a fish i caught' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'gar' (gar is a kind of fish**).
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'a'+'gar'+'i'+'c'='AGARIC'

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for agaric that I've seen before include "Type of mushroom" , "Fungus, eg, mushroom" , "fungal growth" , "Fungus of mushroom family" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
