Do I understand you correctly that you left the UV filter on while
irradiating the lens? If so, it is conterproductive as you are trying to
kill the fungus with UV light.

Subject: [OM] medical treatment of fungus or surgery only?
Hi all,
About two weeks ago I discovered that a nice colony of fungus was quicly
growing on the back border face of the front element of my Zuiko 21/3.5
After I made myself sure I was not having a nightmare, decided to treat the
malady.
Since this had happenned to my 50 G-Zuiko and have it cleaned by an
experienced technician but didn't quite like the results, I am very
reluctant to have this one disassembled and cleaned (surgery).
Instead, I began a "phototherapy" inspired by an idea someone mentioned
here. I am illuminating the lens with a 50 watt dichroic lamp at 10
centimeters from the UV filter during some hours, and then again for several
sessions.
