What do you ID as fungus here? I’m not sure I see it.

@vvvelo I’m not sure the roots and leaves that fell off looked fuzzy and they could be moldy. I don’t have many succulents though and now that I cleaned the old first and dead stuff off to put in new soil it looks better. I’m going to isolate the new plants anyway but maybe I’m just being paranoid on spreading something to other plants.

@vvvelo oh see now I didn’t even see that part. I’m very new to succulents thank you for pointing that out. I put it in fresh soil but do you think I should throw that one out and leave the other two or just see what it does?

Give the chance to each of them. This one with the rot may not survive.
That white stuff on leaves though is farina. Try not to touch the leaves, not to wipe farina off. Farina is like sunscreen for succulents, and protects them from sun burn.

@LiftLashPlant you can remove leaves from that rotten stem, and propagate them.

@SvelteKingfern oh cool. See I was worried it was fungus or something bad. I’ve never had succulents like this one just a zebra. Love how much I learn on this app. Appreciate you all.
