Relating countryside and fungal disease? (6)
I believe the answer is:
rustic
'disease?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rustic that I've seen before include "unrefined" , "Simple and unsophisticated as in the country" , "Hodge" , "Relating to the countryside" , "Rural, country" .)
