Hey everyone!

My pothos has these yellow-brownish spots. They’re not mushy, just a bit rough to the touch.

Googling it only made me more confused since it can be so many different things. Hoping someone here can help me figure out what’s going on. I’m sure it’s something really simple.

Some other details:

-soil is wet and doesn’t smell funky  
-cannot see any pests but maybe I’m not looking hard enough  
-only water when the soil is completely dry. If planta asks me to, I snooze it!

Thanks everyone!

Cut it off! It will be fine. The plant will grow new leaf if it is happy
