I don't know if this applies to telescopes/eyepieces but plastic cases with foam liners can be a breeding ground for fungus. They make good cases and protect from most things but as one who has experienced this with other optical equipment - i.e.; photographic - I suggest packing these things with silica gel packs. My job involves working with expensive optical equipment and all of my gear cases and bags have silica gel in them. If it gets a toe hold, a fungus will eat through the coatings on your expensive glass before you even know it.
