Some DIYers of camera forums recommend removal of fungi on glass surfaces by coating the offended area with cold cream (ask your mum/wife/gf/sister), leaving for 30 mins or so and then thoroughly cleaning the cream off the lens. Some follow up by leaving the lens in direct sunlight for several days before reassembly. I have never tried it but I do have a 60mm refractor and an eyepiece I may try it out on. It seems the cold cream "dissolves" the fungus and prevents it's return.
Just a thought.
