Sorry to hear about your problem!

A desiccant like silica gel or maybe calcium chloride will probably make the specimens dry enough that the fungus will not grow any more.

I don't know what can be done for damaged specimens although I think I would (at least) remove obvious external fungus with forceps and/or a brush (perhaps dipped in alcohol).

Good luck!
