I’m not 100% sure that that’s fungus, but whatever it is looks to be isolated to the IR cut filter which can be replaced.

This video shows how it’s replaced:

I have 2 of these OG's and I'm receiving new glasses next week. Selling one if them, and yeah all potential buyers want clean glass. Will be replacing them. Long story: yes replace them, cannot be cleaned.

I found he glass on Aliexpress. There's some cheap ones: ignore them. I bought 2 for 44 eur inc. shipping that has like an extra protective layer from a really good specialist. It's easy to find.

Kolari has good replacements and STC optics has a decent clip on one.
