Mushy Strawberries

Once my berries turn red on the vine, they become really mushy. They are not overripe..it happens before they are fully ripened. Can slugs do this? Or is it a fungus? I just thought it was strange that they aren’t mushy when they are still white.

Unfortunately the photo did not come through. It will be hard to say without seeing the damage.

It does sound like a fungal issue, though.
