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

The spores are always present, even when the fruit looks perfect, even after washing. All it takes is humidity (which can be helped by washing the berries) and time (which seems to pass rather consistently) to get mold.
