For the lenses I have stored away and rarely use (mainly older K mount & m42) I have them in storage boxes with a large quantity of silica gel. I probably don't regenerate it often enough, though. I don't take any particular precautions with lenses I use regularly. It's just a bit inconvenient to do so. Touch wood, I haven't observed any fungus problems with them.
