Fungi with some seaweed one's eating cold (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

agarics

'fungi' is the definition.
(agaric is a kind of fungus)

'some seaweed one's eating cold' is the wordplay.
'some seaweed' becomes 'agar' (I've seen this before).
'one's' becomes 'is' (Roman numeral).
'eating' is an insertion indicator.
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'is' going around 'c' is 'ics'.
'agar'+'ics'='AGARICS'

'with' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
