Rotten Roots? Male
Default Rotten Roots?

I've just received two small orchid plants. This is the first one:

The 2nd one shown below seems to have roots and stem in pretty bad shape. I read that I should cut off the dead root tissue but if I did that the plant would have no roots at all! How should I proceed? I'm a total beginner these are my first two orchids.

P.S. Can anyone identify what type of orchids these are?
