The terms "false fruit", "spurious fruit", and "pseudocarp" are older terms for accessory fruit that have been criticized as "inapt", and are not used by some botanists today. Accessory fruit An accessory fruit (sometimes called "false fruit", "spurious fruit", "pseudofruit", or "pseudocarp") is a fruit in which some of the flesh is derived not from the ovary but from some adjacent tissue exterior to the carpel. Examples of accessory tissue are the receptacle of the strawberry, pineapple, common fig, and
Boletellus ananas although he admitted it was impossible to come to any definitive conclusions until mature fruit bodies and spore prints were available for study. Rolf Singer and colleagues (1992) suggested the name "Boletellus coccineus" for "Boletellus ananas". Singer created this name, however, in the mistaken belief that the earliest available name for the taxon was "Boletus coccineus", proposed by Elias Magnus Fries in 1838. However, Fries’s name is an illegitimate later homonym (compare with "Boletus coccineus", named by Bulliard in 1791), and Singer’s combination is actually based on "Strobilomyces coccineus", named by Pier Andrea Saccardo in 1888.
