I just noticed weird fuzzy clumps on my fern today and some of the leaves have brown tips, holes, brown up the stalk … I don’t see anything that looks like a bug. Any idea what this is? :(

my name is cheryl too! 😂  
are the clumps you’re talking about on that little frond in the center of the first pic? is it mealy bugs?? 😰 mealies look like fuzzy white specs of mold.  
if not, the brown holes/tips might be sunburn 🥵

it looks like you have planta premium. have you tried dr. planta?

Love that haha! That and the little brown clumps at the end of the leaves in the last pic. I almost wonder if its a fungus or mold? I don’t think its mealy bugs because they’re not white and i recently dealt with those on another plant. It’s pretty warm near the window. Yeah the holes might be because of the sun too.
