yellowing leaves and more

morning everybody

Here is the link to go to the pics

when I lifted the funky stuff off my cym yesterday I was shocked I found this white stuff that looked like mold I thought the ark might have decomposed so badly that that is what it turned into, but when I showed it to my mom which is no expert she said it looked like some sort of cotton wool and I kind of agree. I got this cym from the breeder is this what they get planted in to retain the water.

Or

Has my bark mix decomposed so bad that it has become that?

The leaf are also from the same cym I sprayed it with plant pesticide the day before might that be the cause of my leave damage or is it from the cotton holding to much water and its not draining properly.

It’s only that leave that is that bad, but there is another leave that looks like it might turn yellow. Must I cut it off

I also received a new kind of orchid this morning from a colleague it’s the one lying next to the keyboard. Can someone tell me what its name is and what are its needs?
