Turn chopped fungi over for observer (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spectator

'for observer' is the definition.
(spectator is a kind of observer)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for spectator that I've seen before include "Onlooker at game" , "fan" , "One watching a game" , "Looker-on" , "Cat poster (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
