Yellow Mold with Styrofoam Balls in Orchid Pot: Slug Eggs, Fungus, or Nematodes?

Styrofoam Balls = Likely Slug/Snail Eggs

Yellow mold/fungus with white beads in mix? Beads are probably slug/snail eggs. Mold suggests overly wet, stagnant mix.

Immediate Repotting Protocol

1. Fresh orchid mix, new pot preferred
2. Remove ALL old mix from roots
3. Inspect roots for damage
4. Repot in clean conditions

Remote Possibility: Nematodes

Eelworms attacking roots/leaves/buds. Extremely difficult to eradicate. No known cure. Hope it's not this.
