In a separate box with humidity remover.Works fine, there is lenses with lot of fungus like this and with some almost unrecognizable spots they never spread or growing. Humidity is around 35% and box made from clear plastic.

A great Idea to open this theme. In the last day I bought a lens in a dark second hand shop. So I was not enable to see the lens at full light. Now I think I have my first lens infectec with fungus. I will take some shoots soon here and post it of this about 40 years old lens.
cheers

Yes, belba something like this happened to me as well.
But depending on storage you can stop the fungus from spreading and growing. Attila's way is the optimum. Just keep them well lit and dry.

Ok here my fungus case (or not?).
Two pictures oh one of the inner lens of my Meyer Primotar 135/3,5. I think this lens is about 40 years old.
It was hard to take this pictures.

Not yet fungus but perhaps on the way... this is looks lens fluid went to inner element. Any kind of dust not good news inside in the lens if lens get enough humid air and dark (typical storage with cups) fungus can growing because dust is there for food. I have many Primotar some of them really dusty inside , but non of them get fungus! I have very clean Nikkor with fungus inside, I guess Japanese lenses have more times fungus than East German lenses have. Perhaps Japanese lenses are made more precisely air can't refresh inside and I saw a pretty idiot practice by Japanese their use glue to fix lenses to each other.

This is an excellent example of how fungus might not be visible from some angles. You really have to take a close look!

Even a whole colony of fungus might be barely visible if behind a well made multicoating.
When I bought the Distagon 1.4/35 at a used camera fair, I did not notice the fungus - took out, I thought the multicoating had some "leopard spot" perhaps due to uncautious cleaning, or maybe defektive coating. But then at accurate inspection I noticed that the spots were inside the lens not outside, so I realized it could be fungus. I turned on the car's lights (didn't have a torch with me, stupidly), and seen through the lens I could clearly see the fungus. Luckily I could get back and change the lens with another copy that the seller had available.
Attila a very wise guy always has with him the little torch light. Since then, I am also doing the same. I have bought 5 small torch lights and I keep them in various places: the car, the camera bags, my studio.

Unfortunately, it is fungus. After I have read this topic, I think my J-9 lens has fungus. I thought fungus is always a grey veil. I have the lense from the rear side with a halogen spot lighting.

Seems cleanable J-9 is not a difficult lens. If you keep in right way this lens , don't need to clean it will not growing.

It may not expand further more, but it will keep eating stuff where it already exists. If it only ate on the coating layer, that is not so bad, but if it attacks the glass, you can throw the lens in the bin. So my suggestion is not to wait and clean the lens soon.

Attila has the right formula.
I don't do such operations on lenses, when I need to I send them to servicing, they take 40-50 Euros so I find it more convenient than a headache
