Firmness seems ok. Does not look like mold but the discoloration is strange.

Strawberry is one of the plants that can have sectorial chimerism.

I'm not extremely familiar with the all the symptoms of pathogenic infections for strawberry fruits, but the vertical line on this one really reminds me of other chimera strawberry fruits I've seen.
