Hair or Fungus, Leave old spike while new one grows?

[Doofinator]

Hi All,

I have a NOID Phal that I'm not sure has "hairs" on the roots, or a fungus.

Also, I obtained this plant from Lowe's in September, and the blooms fell at the end of October. I left the spike, as it is still green. However, it has starting putting up a new spike. Should I cut the old one so it will put more energy into the new one?

Many Thanks!
