Amusing lass like Candida, for example? (6)
I believe the answer is:
fungal
'candida for example?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'amusing lass' is the wordplay.
'amusing' becomes 'fun' ('fun' can be a synonym of 'amusing').
'lass' becomes 'gal' (I've seen this before).
'fun'+'gal'='FUNGAL'
'like' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fungal that I've seen before include "Of moulds, yeast etc" , "To do with mushrooms, say" , "Like, eg, toadstools" , "Relating to moulds, etc" , "of a type that may grow on one" .)
