This part of the lens can be disassembled, and cleaned by John at
www.focalpointlens.com <http://www.focalpointlens.com/>
There are a lot of enlarger lenses available on eBay, some of them are in
excellent condition and reasonable priced. I have quite a collection in
excellent condition. I remove the lenses from the dark room after use and I
keep them in a box with a large canister of silica gel to protect them from
what has happened to you lens.

I was able to remove the front element, but the fungus is behind the middle
element which as you say is sealed, like the fate of the lens I'm afraid.
Thanks though.

I found my El Nikkor 50mm f2.8 enlarger lens with a web-like growth in
it this morning, all over the inner element. A victim of the recent damp
hot weather.
It might not look like it, but an EL Nikkor is made with two lens cells
which unscrew just like a Schneider enlarging lens. Have you removed the
cells to see if the fungus is growing inside the cells? Usually, the fungus
will not be inside the cells as they are sealed, but rather only on the rear
of the cell where it can be easily cleaned off.
