Default White mold on blueberries - salvageable?

Hi - posting from google groups 'cause I'm on the road and w/ a
different computer.

I brought a container of fresh blueberries with me - they haven't been
refrigerated for the last two days and they'd already been in my
refrigerator for about a week before I left. Now they are starting to
show some white "stuff," which I assume is mold, in a spot or two.

Are they still safe to eat in any form and, if so, should I wash the
white stuff off, should I just try to avoid the ones that have the
mold already on them, etc.? I imagine there is a scientific answer
here but I'd appreciate a practical one. Obviously I don't want to
give myself food poisoning but I'm hoping this white stuff isn't so
terrible - you tell me, please. Today is Friday - I'd love to find a
way to get another day or two, and another handful or two, out of
them, not so much for frugality's sake as because I'm busy and getting
to a grocery store will be tough.

Thanks in advance.
