Fungus, i find, is really easy to get rid of. you can do it in two stages. Hydrogen Peroxide, of the normal domestic grade, will kill the fungus, so it is good to clean the inside of the body with, and make sure there are no live spores. it should not react with any of the materials inside the camera. And... to remove the fungus from all optical material, plain distilled (clear) vinegar. i usually try to float it on the surface, using the surface tension, and let it sit for ten minutes, then wipe it off with some cotton wool. or you could submerge it, though I would avoid this for safety if you are dealing with a glued optical group.

Grandma always said that the best thing for cleaning glass was vinegar, and oddly it still is.
