Fungus; develop rapidly (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mushroom

This clue is a double definition.

'fungus' is the first definition.
(mushroom is a kind of fungus)

'develop rapidly' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for mushroom that I've seen before include "Stroganoff ingredient" , "Snowball; fungus" , "pread quickly" , "Increase with remarkable rapidity" , "Grow very fast" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
