Default Fungus on rotting mount

Does anyone have any advice on how best to remove this orchid from its mount with the least possible amount of damage?

I've had this rhyncholaelia digbyana for about 3 years. When I got it it was in bad shape. I mounted it and it did very well for a while, slowly getting bigger and bigger. Last year I noticed this scummy looking fungus growing on the bottom of the mount. I repeated treated it with physan, sometimes sprayings, sometimes soaking over night. Nothing happened except that most of the roots died. The mold spread to other parts of the mount, and I realized it was coming from within the mount.

I decided to ignore it for a bit, give it more sun (it gets TONS of sun), but then recently I noticed one of the latest growths has just turned to mush. I know it's just a matter of time now before it takes the whole plant.

I would like very much to save it, as it's very sentimental to me. I inherited it from my grandmother-in-law, and it's the national flower of Honduras, where my mother is from. Any advice would be very appreciated!
