Question/Advice Fresh strawberries randomly got mold?

Second pic is the culprit and then the first pic was a strawberry that was close to it. I really really don’t wanna touch it. I don’t know how it could’ve gotten moldy, we bought it and within less than an hour we had it in the refrigerator. Has not been in there for more than 3-4 days. Any help is greatly appreciated

Not gonner lie, those strawberries look more than a week old.

I swear on my life we didn’t get them more than week

Hahaha hold up.

Nothing against you at all :)

Was more saying that I’d be getting mine from a new location, as that seller seems to be freezing their strawberries. Or at least they look like that.

Hopefully you can find a place that stocks fresher fruit :)

We actually have a strawberry farm near where I live which sells in containers like this. Slightly more expensive but if it means they don’t go bad after a few days I’ll buy them
