I have found CS to be very effective against algae in our cat's water bowl. It can be green and shortly after adding some CS it will be crystal clear.
As for fungus I have only seen it used against foot fungus i.e. athletes foot, jock itch, mildew, and black spot on roses. In all 4 cases the improvements were nothing short of dramatic. Perhaps there is a difference between these "surface" types of fungus and those that grow on bread or like mushrooms.
