cucumbers firm then turns soft

Question

Cucumber is firm when first starting to grow but it then turns soft and mushy at the end of the cucumber.

Answer 1

This could be Belly Rot or another fungus called Angular Leaf Spot.
Crop rotation is important to correct this issue in the future. Damp weather conditions can be a cause with lack of air circulation, sometimes we can't control all these things as gardeners.
You can try to salvage the cucumbers by picking them smaller then you normally would.
