Doesn't look good to me, misting is fine if you make sure the crown gets completely dried out, and I am guessing it did not. I would stop all misting now, and let the plant dry out a bit before watering. You can pour peroxide into the crown to hopefully dry it out, and get rid of any rot. I am not sure if this is going to help or not, it is the early stages, but with crown rot it can spread really fast. I would also pour cinnamon down into the crown after it has dried from the peroxide, you can facilitate drying by putting a fan on it, with mine, I tip them carefully on their side so that any water runs out of the crown. I want to post this now, so that you will see it quickly, but I am going to type another post to recomend culture etc...
