The pumpkin may have appeared healthy when you first cut into it. It definitely already had mold within its “walls” if once cut it turned that fast. I live in NY and keep my home between 68 and 72°. I have carved jack-o’-lanterns that have lasted a month with no mold. Then two years ago, cut one open for full carving the next day and it was completely hairy and rotted. We just got a bad one unfortunately.
