If suffocation appears to be what is happening, then could probably try spraying pyrethrin into a test area (away from the orchid) ------ to see if it is effective. Or spray some imidacloprid onto the test area.

Otherwise - if it happens to be fungal threads ----- not sure if it is - then could also spray fungicide in another test region.
I thought they were thrips nests but when I peeled off the bark on the substrate I saw that it was strongly attached to it, I think it is an insect but it is not visible, and I am seeing the bark that is degrading in those parts, I already applied insecticide Orthene but you have to break up that spider web, I don't think the water will penetrate, I have seen new roots covered as well. I am peeling off the substrate and cleaning it superficially, I cannot change it, there are many.
