I wanna say fungus! But maybe someone else knows more for sure

That’s what it feels like to me. I recently moved to a new more humid apartment.

Fungal infection. It can be treated with a commercial fungicide Check the roots to find a source such as root rot from overwatering. Continuously wet soil helps fungus thrive.
