Welcome to the Orchid Board drakekr03!
I do not think you would want to pull off the leaves for your two plants. That would cause them to die? But if your new aquisitions have fungus, you should not accept those plants. I would contact your vendor and ask them about it.
How did you arrive at the conclusion that this is a "fungus that causes black spots, yellow etc."? The reason I ask is that I have also received Dendrobium and other varieties of orchids from various vendors from Hawaii with little black spots but I never thought they were fungus or harmful to the plant. In fact, some of my plants with those black spots have been around for several years.
