Fungus or flesh?

Okay, my axolotl has had some fungus issues for about a week. I've tried various treatments, including salt baths. I realized it might keep coming back because I'm not removing it all (with tweezers). The fungus is mostly attacking an open wound that was on his back, and I'm worried about weather I'm plucking off just fungus or his flesh. Is wild type axolotl flesh white? or grey?
Any suggestions would be great...

I wouldn't pluck the fungus off with tweezers. I usually go with a shotgun approach. Furan 2 works great for axolotl problems. It treats gram negative and gram positive bacterial problems, fungus, septicemia etc. Most common axolotl disease problems other than parasites are treatable with furan 2. I alway keep it handy and it is my first choice of med for an aquatic salamander with skin issues.

If the fungus comes off losely with tweezers then it's okay to take off, but you don't want to be tugging at it because you might damage your 'lotl.
I find some of the best treatments to be holidays in the fridge with salt baths three times a day.
If you're new to salt baths, a container filled with dechlorinated water will be fine as long as you add one tablespoon of water for every 10 gallons, too much salt can be dangerous.
Also make sure the salt bath is also in the fridge because if your axolotl comes out of the fridge and into a salt bath outside the different temperatures of water could stress him/her out a bit.

http://www.axolotl.org/faq.htm#43 - This is an FAQ answering questions on axolotls (also includes questions about fungal treatments) I would recommend using as little as possible with chemical treatments for a fungus unless it is very severe.

Gotta love fungus. Just keep treating the axie until ALL the fungus disappears plus an extra salt bath just to make sure. The flesh is more of a gray colour for wild types. Have you tried putting your axolotl is a small quarantine tank? If not, maybe your normal tank is reinfecting the wound resulting in constant fungus. Fresh, clean water would help the wound heal quicker.

Thanks for all the advice. I'll continue the salt baths, I've completely emptied/cleaned out his tank once in hopes that would get rid of any spores in the water. Not sure my mom would want an axolotl in the fridge, but I have been trying to keep his tank really cold by floating frozen water bottels.
I guess I'll just have to wait and see how he does...

Phil(baker75) gave me a great tip: he used a turkey baster to blow the fungus off with a jet of water. It might be worth a try?
