[Konvas] cleaning mushrooms on lenses ...

[dweber101 at comcast.net]

A tip? Yes a Q-tip!! I have tested this myself, put oil from your nose on a Q-tip and apply it to the intruding "baby", wait a day and clean as normal with lens fluid. Found this tip on an antique camera repair forum. 

As far as my test, on one lens it worked perfectly (and I tried cleaning with lens cleaner before hand with no luck). On another lens it did not work at all. So good luck or should I say "break a lens".
