The Phal abuse ends here.

Hi, I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I was curious about roots?

I just brought home a Phal that my cousin had for many months. It looks pretty healthy considering it was in this strange plastic sleeve sitting in a terracotta pot. Both only had one central drainage hole and was sitting in water. The roots look really good considering how tightly packed in sphagnum it was packed. It has a root as long as the spike!
Now some of the roots that were exposed on top are very very dark green on the topside, it almost looks black really but it's not mushy and the rest of it is healthy as well.
There are some black spots on some roots but overall they are green and light yellow-white.
Is the dark green something I should worry about or is it fine to leave it?

Thanks for any help!
