I think what you want is Bon Mot. The B is the begining of botrytis which is the answer to Noble Rot fungus. (you were right!)

Hi Everyone

Have another one.

213a Reggae's forrunner SKI but
214d have IR?L, I know this should be ARIL
but it doesn't fit, comes out as IRIL.

Internet says IRIL is a misspelling of ARIL?

Thanks

Hi tigiie

Kiwinan is correct, SKA is the right and only word for reggea fore-runner.

See:
ska Jamaican urban dance form popular in the 1960s, influential in reggae.

Look under glossary.

Hello Butterfly

Thanks for the welcome note - is very kind of you and I appreciate it.
I discovered this wonderful site, purely by chance , towards the end of last year and have already found it extremely useful.
I notice it is regularly visited by crossword fans who are very willing to share their extensive knowledge and as my knowledge improves I hope to be able to contribute more in return.

Thanks again

Kiwinan
