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?🤷

The reason they went mouldy is because they weren't ornamental plastic fruit like the rest of them were, LOLZ!😅

Seriously though I think most fruit you buy from the shop will be treated in some way to make them last better than they normally would do.

A bit like buying milk from a shop it's been pasteurised so it will last for days, even weeks, but if you got some fresh milk from a cow that hadn't been treated it would only last 24 hours, maybe a couple of days top side.

I mean I'm only saying treated if they seemed to go mouldy unusually quick compared to what fruit normally would do in the bowl and all the other fruit (that didn't go mouldy) you'd bought from a shop so will of definitely been treated.

I mean everything fresh has to be treated in someway, otherwise it wouldn't even get to the shop before it had rotted.
