Rye fungus (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ergot

'rye fungus' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for ergot that I've seen before include "It's horny" , "Fungal disease of rye" , "drug supplier" , "Parasitical fungus" , "Fungal disease of grain" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press.
