Try a regular wet sensor cleaning, or send it to Nikon service if you lack confidence. It might take a couple of passes. Good luck!

Why so serious?

If you have not messed with sensor cleaning before, I would have a Nikon pro do it for you.  Many retailers will do it for you, if you bring your camera into their shop.

You could damage it, like cleaning it with a hammer and chisel. This link offers much safer (and better) solutions......

Also I doubt that it is fungus. It is just stuck on dust blobs. That link Ernesto left should help you out on how to clean. I personally use my Eclipse swabs, and Alcohol, not liquor of course.
