The black to me definitely looks like fungi/bacteria. (This is what brookn and me are battling on the Catts she was talking about.) I would for sure get ahold of who you bought it from and show them the pics. If you want to try and save it, do what brookn says and treat accordingly. If it's in total spagh moss as a medium, you have to be very careful like Mike says about watering. There's a thread on here somewhere about using the skewer method to check for water levels. Another thing to do would be to keep a constant air flow moving around the plant to evaporate any extra standing water. This will keep the fungi/bacteria from spreading, and help the crown and leaves dry faster.
Oh yeah, Brookn. The solution totally kicks butt!!! No black has spread and no more leaves fell. I still bought the Physan 20 and got it today and gave the plant a blast, so hopefully the fungi has been totally irradicated and plant should be germ free. I'm going to use both as a maintenance and treatment plan for the next month and see how things go. Will keep you updated on progress.
