Default Keeping strawberries fresh longer?

Strawberries for some reason only last perhaps 4 days max in the
refrigerator. Sometimes its 2 days, if you didn't get very fresh ones
to begin with. Then they start growing a whitish mold. What is it,
and can you do something (other than freezing) to prevent the growth
of this mold?


If you get your strawberries from Aldi in Australia they seemed to be
genetically or something modified to stay as hard as a rock for weeks
even after they start to go off
