I just learned about this yesterday. I have a mix of a real strawberry plant and false strawberries in my backyard. The false strawberries also have mush smaller leaves. I’m planning on ripping them out so the real strawberries can grow and fill the space.
There’s a plant called false or mock strawberries that looks incredibly similar but tastes like you described/very bland. They have yellow flowers and a few differences but otherwise are pretty similar.

TIL, thanks
Now I will be on the hunt for the real deal
