Elk horn fern - pest creating spore looking webbing
My elk horn fern looks like it has LOTS of brown spore, but where the spore is very dense, the top side of the leaf is looking terrible - like it’s sucked dry and blotchy. The leaf at that point is limp as well. When I look at the spore, It’s got a lot of webbing in it. I’m wondering if it’s spore at all or a bug that has burrowed into the leaf I have sprayed with Yates Pest Oil and cut off the affected areas. Is there anything else I should do? Can you identify the pest? The fern is inherited from my beloved parents and I would hate for it to die
