moss

I will be repoting my orchid this weekend and wanted to know what's best, moss or bark? I also read that I can use bark and mix in some moss, about 20%; is this true? I got the orchid as a gift and the pot it came in doesn't have the holes at the bottom so it's retaining too much water. Two of my leafs died already =( Thanks!

I have one in moss which seems to always be slightly moist, and one in bark that seems to always be dry. the one in the bark is turning dark green from the bottom… it seems dead.

There are lots of thin, mushroom like things growing in the pot with my phalaenopsis orchid. I pull them out whenever I find one. They are never too far below the surface of the moss and seem to either be growing out of the moss or out of the orchid bark, and the "root" area is like a little white fuzzball, almost like mold or something. Any ideas? Should I repot the orchid right away? I've been raising orchids for almost 5 years now, and I've had this particular one for almost 4 years; I've never seen anything like this before…. thanks for any help!
