I'm not familiar with what Rhizoctonia infection looks like on Staghorn Ferns but just in case that black spot is the beginning of a fungus of some sort, I'd stop watering for awhile. Too much water along with high humidity and lack of air circulation can cause fungal infections to spread. You might also want to sprinkle the black spot area with a little ground cinnamon, which is a natural fungicide.
