Frank , bad news, it is a fungus, Destroy an orchid if you see wet, dark spots on the leaves and pseudobulbs, as they usually indicate a bacterial or fungal disease, such as black rot or brown spot. Because these diseases are difficult or impossible to cure and spread easily from one orchid to the next, it's safest to get rid of the orchid immediately.
Hello. For the best local professional advice I would highly suggest contacting your cooperative extension. These offices are manned by volunteer master gardeners on site there waiting to answer the communities questions that know your local situation quite well.
Master gardeners are required to volunteer back designated hours ( plus continuing education) each year to maintain MG certification -this community outreach and education is their goal.
If your office is closed....there Might be alternative online venues like Ask an Expert as well as emailing your local master gardeners extension office for their
guidance.... in a non contact manner.
thank you
