Need help🫤....effing title too short 😡🤬😡

A few days ago I got given a whole bunch of fresh lemons off a friends tree.
I put them straight into my fruit bowl .

It's only been like 5...6 days - and they've gone mouldy !

The apples and the limes I have in there, (and were there first ), haven't .

So my questions are :
1. Do I have to wary be now of my other fruit doing the same ?
2. If so, how do I stop that ?
3. And why did the lemons get moldy in the first place ?

Anybody?🤷

Your lemons are too moist. lol. That is why they got moldy.

I would throw the lemons out, wash and dry off the other fruit and keep them in an area that is not so moist.

Yes I had to use the word moist. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Sojournersoul moist ?
Maybe . Maybe they were when I got them ?

I've had my fruit bowl there for years and never had this issue ever before .

Yeah...I threw them out straight away - disappointed - I love lemons, use them everyday .😞
But I will wash the other fruit ...thanks.
