Old EF 28-70mm - is this haze, fungus or both?

Hi all,

Was shooting a wedding a couple of days ago. Got the images into lightroom and noticed they look a bit hazy.

Have just taken a photo of the back element of my old EF 28-70mm lens and wondered if someone could tell me what the hell that is on the back element.

Is this going to be an expensive week when I have to finally buy a modern 24-70?

Thanks

Is that top speck the dreaded fungus?
