Wild strawberries?
Spotted them while mowing my lawn this afternoon.
I’m inclined to agree with @Catoblepas and say mock strawberry. If you recall seeing or see yellow flowers on the plants that’s another indication that it’s P. indica
I don’t recall any flowers, but the fruity part looks just like in the mock strawberry wiki article.
Agreed, and the fruit is identical to our mock strawberries so I feel comfortable with the ID, but it’s always good to confirm a species ID with multiple indicators
Also that the strawberry is turned up instead of hanging down is another indication of a mock strawberry.
But in any case they should be edible (please correct me if I’m wrong!) :)
Definitely edible, certainly not selectively bred for flavor.
