You could boil the stones...that would kill any bacteria/organisms on the stone.

Without knowing the cause of the fungus or what type it was, I would remove all the gravel substrate and boil it, remove the decor too and clean it thoroughly in boiling water, same for plastic plants. I would also ditch the filter media and it could contain some of the bacteria which caused the fungus and replace with new, then start a fishless cycle on it using a pure ammonia source, the chances of anything nasty surviving thru that is pretty limited.

I would also use a weak bleach solution to thorougly clean the tank surfaces as well and obviously rinse well afterwards.
