You may certainly cut them all back before you work with the rhizomes. Your hedychium will be fine no need for fungicide. You should always make sure that your tools are clean, no matter what you're working with. Actually bleach and water is used commercially as a fungicide for edible gingers since it's considered safe for human consumption. I have used it before.
