Extra cash for something to eat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

morel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'something to eat' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'extra cash' is the wordplay.
'extra' becomes 'more' (both can mean additional).
'cash' becomes 'L' (The pound sterling symbol is an elaborate L).
'more'+'l'='MOREL'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for morel that I've seen before include "Edible fungus" , "Edible mushroom" , "One has a cap" , "Type of mushroom" .)
