mashy

Old golf iron

Mashy describes something soft, pulpy, or reduced to a mush-like consistency.

Potatoes can be mashy, as can overripe fruit or anything that yields easily to pressure.

The word carries a casual, slightly playful tone: The bananas were getting mashy, so I made bread.

In golf, a mashy was an old name for a type of iron club.
