depends where the fungus is worst, if it on the front elements then it may not affect IQ too much, the rear is likely to be a problem.
The problem with fungus is that it can etch the lens coating, so even after removing it there is still damage.
Worth a shot cleaning it - although if its a focal plane shutter it will be a pain to put back together....
