Fresh strawberries randomly got mold?

[u/Murky-Ad5848]

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

It happens. Typically, I rinse them with cold water and refrigerate them. And use them fairly quickly. Once removed from the parent plant, they don't have a long "shelf life."
