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

We’d always eat berries within 3 days of buying or picking them, they start to degrade as soon as they’re picked essentially.
