I bought a fern like that with the same issue. The plant lived for almost a year before I had to cut my loses because it wasn’t able to recover. I hope you find the best information here to save that beautiful plant!

I have a birds nest fern and they do not like the roots sopping wet so would just put it in a well chunky draining soil and water it and place it in a north facing window or a few feet from a east or west facing window and do not water it until the soil is completely dry. Bottom water after only until you get it in a watering schedule. I would also touch the roots and cut of the mushy ones

Cut the mushy roots and just hope for the best with the rest

All the roots are mushy so do I just cut all of them??😅
