I am growing an Orchid plant at home, inside a clay pot.
As you can see in the images, the pot is contaminated with some king of fungus (which one exactly?).
Also, fungi "fruit" heads are visible emerging out of the soil (again, what kind of fungus?)
How can I get rid of them? The clay pot probably absorbs water, therefore supporting fungi proliferation.

By the way, which kind of Orchid is this? The last time it had flowers was more than a year ago, and they were pink-violet. Is it OK that I put in right next to the window? it is facing south-west, and it gets plenty of sun light afternoon.

Thanks!
