Toadstool or mushroom, eg (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fungus

This clue is a double definition.

'toadstool' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'mushroom eg' is the second definition.
(I know that mushroom is a type of basidiomycete)

(Other definitions for fungus that I've seen before include "A mushroom, toadstool or mould" , "Mould or similar growth" , "'Lichen, say (6)'" , "Mushroom, for instance, is one" , "One as yeast, mushroom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
