Hello everyone!

I hope you are all staying safe and healthy during these times.

I'm new here and just created an account on this forum specifically because I'm having issues with my squash plants. I planted them from seed on May 5th. As of last week, I've noticed that the edges of the bottom most leaves are turning a brownish-grey, shriveling up, and then falling off. The issue is working its way up the plant so I think it may be a fungus from the soil, though I'm not sure. If it is actually a fungus from the soil, I have no idea which type or how to treat it... Confused

Here is what it looks like as of today. One of the photos is of something that seems to be an orangey-white fungus, though I'm not sure. For reference, I live in South Florida since other posts above have mentioned that squash plants don't quite fare well in high humidity. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
