Outbreak going from unripe to mushy (8)
I believe the answer is:
eruption
'outbreak' is the definition.
(I know that outbreak can be written as eruption)
'unripe to mushy' is the wordplay.
'mushy' indicates anagramming the letters (letters mushed up).
'unripe'+'to'='unripeto'
'unripeto' anagrammed gives 'ERUPTION'.
'going from' is the link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eruption that I've seen before include "Volcanic event" , "Violent discharge of volcanic material" , "The action of a volcano" , "which blighted Pompeii?" , "Exploding" .)
