I have about a dozen courgette (zucchini) plants in a poly tunnel, all doing quite well.?

I have just noticed that a lot of the new fruit are going slushy from the flower down and some let off a dry powdery substance. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Generally this is caused by unsuitable growing conditions. Pick off the affected fruit, give a weak liquid feed, ventilate, and hope for the best.
Reply:It is a fungal infestation caused by the wet conditions. The poly tunnel needs better air circulation.
