Question Prostheca cochleata new blooms

I posted this a few weeks ago, wondering what the new growths were. It turned out to be a second spike out of a current pseudobulb.You can see the dried up spike that has finished flowering. The plant currently has three new pb's (circled). I also noticed a web like substance through the clear pot. Knowing that some orchids have a symbiotic relationship with fungi, I was wondering if these could be hyphea ?

Nice plant.

Weblike substance...not sure if that's mycochorrizal hyphae, but if it's not hurting the plant..then I would leave it be. (This was the first orchid bloomed at the Kew Botanic Gardens.)

Could the web-like substance be micro-roots? I agree with Clint on leaving it alone if it is not causing any problems.

Cheers,

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box. ...Hmmm? .
