A recently acquired a Spiratone 400mm f6.3 lens for FD mount from my uncle. He took some amazing photos with it in the past, and I was excited to use it one of my Canon FD bodies or even adapt it to a Sony E mount camera. To my dismay, it appears there it fungus, correct me if I am wrong:

I was able to disassemble the rear element group and I vigorously scrubbed both sides of the glass with hydrogen peroxide on a microfiber cloth, yet the fungus-like pattern remains. I am thinking there are 2 elements glued together in that rear bit, and that the fungus is between them. I don't see any possible way of removing these two elements from their metal casing, it seems they are pressed in there. Is there any hope for this lens? What else could I try?
