Fungus, Nikon 50-300mm f/4.5.
Fungus shows up like wildfire in a flashlight test.
Fungus looks like little soft dots, usually white, sometimes fluffy, when you look into a lens in normal light.

 


This fungus is often found growing on fallen branches and trees all year round, particularly oak and broad-leaved trees. Their characteristic shape with wavy edges makes them easily recognisable.

How about fungus? I live in Mumbai, India. It is highly humid here, rains continuously for months during the monsoon and fungus attacks every thing. Any preventive measures. I have a Nikon D 80 ...

Orange Pore Fungus (favolaschia calocera). This fungus makes a stunning photo, and it always gets a comment at slide presentations but I've since found out that this is an introduced noxious fungi.

When the RH gets at 60 percent or higher for long periods of time, not only do cardboard packages, labels, and metal containers become damaged, but mold, fungus, and bacteria start to grow.

Avoid buying a lens suffering from lens fungus. It's usually beyond economical repair, can grow, and even if repairable, fungus tends to etch the glass.[5]
Be sure to get insurance on your lens if shipped to you.

Get down! This magic mushroom becomes a towering forest fungus, thanks to 24mm lens mounted on 8mm lens. Shot with an APS-sensor camera.

Moisture building up around circuits is a fast way to short out the camera’s electronics and humidity inside a lens can cause the elements to fog. Over time, moisture will allow fungus to grow inside the lens as well.
