Fungus on Phal roots... what if anything should I do?
This plant has looked curly and a bit floppy, so I took a look at the roots. I saw white stalks with a ball on top. I suspect these are fungal fruiting bodies. They are also present on the media, along with some mycelium.
I acquired this orchid about six weeks ago. I repotted in mix from a big box store, in a clear plastic pot.
Am I correct these are fungal fruiting bodies?
Should I care?
Is this fungus likely to be causing the decline of this plant? If the decline is another cause, does this fungus contribute to the decline?
Is it likely that the mix was contaminated when I bought it, and I should toss it?
Does the fungus indicate a problem with my culture?
