Strange fig question

I have two fig trees in containers. This was the first year I got a good crop, but it has been so wet, most of the fruit has just split and been attacked by fruit flies or is tasteless. I'm disappointed, to say the least, but this is the weird thing that happened.

Today, i was taking some plants back out after Elsa passed, and found something that looked like a pink, fuzzy ball on the ground. On closer inspection, I saw that it was a fig! I've never seen anything like it, and tossed it before I thought to take a picture.

What can cause this? I'm sure it's one that I snipped off the tree because it had split open and I didn't want the fruit flies to get to the rest of the fruit. It almost looked like it had turned inside out - no sight of the skin at all.
