I am using a D70 with the above lens. The fungus formation is on the internal lens elements. This causes a lot of problem in my photos.

If the fungus is not too bad you can try to kill it by placing the lenses in bright sunlight.
But if it's causing problems in your photos, it sounds like it might be bad enough that you will probably need to send them to Nikon or a repair shop to be cleaned.
Just be aware that fungus will etch the glass and could damage it, so don't leave it too long. In future, if you live in a humid climate try not to keep your lenses in dark humid cases for too long and you might want to drop a couple packets of dessicant in with them (those "Do not eat" packets that come with chips and japanese crackers).

Clean affected surfaces with a cotton wiper that has been soaked with a disinfectant or fungus cleanser. You can build your cotton wiper, using cotton wrapped around a toothpickin such a way that a ball with a peak forms on the pointy end of the stick. Use pure cotton, no prepared or impregnated cotton. Strongly rub slightly corroded optical surfaces with an optical cleaning cloth, Fungus infestation in the interior of an instrument can only be eliminated through disassembly of the instrument. back

Time to spend little money and open a service call with Nikkor/Nikon. Most likely you need to ship them unless you live close to the service center like new york/San Franscisco (union city).
BUT the big question is fungus means moisture and moisture means you lens is not sealed and gas is out. I am no expert in manufacturing the lens but something does not sound right.
Hope thins helps.

You'll have to have it cleaned professionally. Note that the fungus does damage the glass, so the lens will never be 100% again. (This is something to watch out for when buying expensive 2nd hand lenses, such as the Noct.)

You take it to a service station.
Better use your camera frequently to avoid fungus formation. Even if you do not intend to use it, just load cells and click it few times every 10-15 days.

the only way to safely remove is to send back for repair. even then it is questionable as to whether or not nikon service center does this kinda job. next time, get a dry box to put in your stuff.

No offense, but if you have fungus growing out of your camera lenses, it's time to replace them.
