The kind of mold that grows on strawberries is gray mold. Mold is caused by moisture on the fruit and it appears as a gray-white fuzz.
Temperature can significantly impact the growth of mold on strawberries. Mold growth is favored by warm temperatures, with optimal growth occurring between 77-86°F (25-30°C). Lower temperatures slow down mold growth, while temperatures above 95°F (35°C) can inhibit mold growth but may degrade the quality of the strawberries. Proper storage at lower temperatures (around 32-40°F or 0-4°C) can help slow down mold growth and extend the shelf life of strawberries.
The molds that grow on strawberries are typically a type of fungus called Botrytis cinerea, also known as gray mold. This mold can develop on strawberries if they are not stored properly or if they become bruised or damaged. It is important to discard any strawberries with visible mold to prevent consumption of potentially harmful toxins.
Strawberries usually grow mold the fastest on the leaves, but it also grows on the older spots of the strawberry. (Or the rotted part.)
