are you sure its fungus maybe a kid threw something like cotten in there.
 
it looks like deflation from stress. one of my fhs' head deflated when he was with another male which i thought was a female. after a couple weeks of water changes and a tank to himself. his kok began to grow again. now he is in a tank next to my female and his kok deflated again. hope this helps.....good luck

his stool was looking like fungus i was thinking it was the guppies i gave him i am now treating the tank with furan and he is swiming around again could it have been constipation
 
is the poop like cotton balls if yes
then it is hexamita which is affecting the intestines and the white cotton like poop is the corrosion of its intestines
bump the temp and treat with metronidazole and loads of water changes
if you don't act fast there will be an infection it will ooze puss and then die
this happened to one of my 13" FH which i had sold
and the fellow did not care for it properly


BTW what have you been feeding him
