Any sulphur-based fungicide will do.

Copper-based fungicide can kill carnivorous plants, as copper is toxic to them.

This is a good sulfur-based fungicide: http://www.amazon.com/Sulfur-Plant-Fung ... 000OWBL2U/

Personally I use neem oil: http://www.horaneys.com/greenlight/Prod ... oductID=13

Neem oil takes care of fungus, mites, and other pests very well. I've never had it fail on me.

The first link would be more effective at taking care of fungus, so if you want something just for fungus, get the first item. If you don't have any insecticide, you might consider the neem oil.
