I would have the lens serviced. The fungus will only get worse and could eventually damage the coatings. But a professional cleanup can render it as good as new. As far as the filters go. I would clean them with a lens cleaning solution and microfiber cloth, then dip them in a mild solution of bleach and water.

What is the best way to clean fungus off filters? Ordinarily I would just
throw them out but this is a set of seven 40.5mm rear filters for the
400-600 zoom, so I don't have any replacements and don't really want to buy
them. The lens also has a little bit of fungus, but not too serious.
