1. can you post the original image to DropBox?

2. can you post an iPhone picture of what the fungus in the lens looks like?

You need to find out if it is truly fungus. For the most part fungus is not removable. At first it may not affect your photos. If on the inside lens it will eventually damage the lens beyond repair.

Dust within the lens is far less of an issue than dust on the sensor.  Dust on the sensor will appear in the same spot on the image no matter what lens or focal length is used.  For most lenses, dust in the lens will be well short of the minimum focal distance.
As mentioned, fungus in the lens is another issue.  It should not immediately impact on images if the fungus is not major, but fungus has a habit of spreading and that is an issue. With a kit lens like the 18-135 USM, which is a great lens, it is going to be questionable as to whether the cost of fixing this is less than the cost of a replacement.  That requires investigation with some urgency.

What have you done so far to confirm if it is fungus or not?   If you have not done so, you need to take it to a camera store and have them check out, or if you belong to a camera club / photographic society, get someone who knows what they're doing to check it for you.

Good move!
To be honest, after looking at the image from your Dropbox, I can't tell much except most of it is blurry.  There is no EXIF data.
Honestly, once you have the lens inspected physically by someone to confirm whether it is fungus and if not we can trouble-shoot other options.  If it is fungus it is unlikely that it will be worth fixing.
Has the lens been subject to moisture - either out in the elements, or in a dam storage location?
