Now they have visible specks of mold and I guess I should probably assume it extends beyond the surface
Curse my procrastinating, food wasting ass

You wanna pickle as soon as you get your cucumbers. If you pick them or get farm fresh you wanna pickle the next day.
It's the real secret to making them crunchy.
As for your pickles just cut off the skins, wash them in running water and make refrigerator pickle chips or cucumber and onion in vinegar for cold cucumber "salad"
All hope is not lost!
I threw them away already because I don't have a vegetable peeler and didn't want to spend time peeling them and inspecting them with a knife (esp. since I doubt my ability to visually verify internal mold). I'll just try to make sure I don't buy food and put off using it for too long again, it's just hard sometimes :/ I really fucked up because I bought pre-washed greens to use without realizing the best by date was within the next 3-4 days and I didn't feel like doing anything until after that...
I did however save the radishes I also bought for salad purposes, the greens turned into gross nasty water but the bulbs looked okay so I washed them really well and pickled them. Hopefully they're not also ruined by sitting in their own nasty rotting liquid :/
