yup, it was in moss...which apparently is bad...there is one or two roots that are still alive...but they are showing signs of browning also. I replanted in a bark and charcoal mix...one specifically for this type of orchid. I also made sort of a contraption which I hope will help. I placed a few medal rods underneath the pot on a bowl and set the pot on the rods. I am hoping that this will increase air circulation underneath the pot to prevent rotting. I also put a bowl of rocks and water underneath my contraption for humidity and i have a light fan blowing in the room for the plant. I placed the plant in a north facing room and lowered the shades so it isn't getting too much light while it is trying to recover. I also watered it with a bit of orchid fertilizer. hopefully it will recover!!!
