Found these in my yard after a week of rain. theyre pretty but I dont know what they are. Are they safe to allow to continue to grow or should I be getting them out asap? Each little red bulb is approximately the size of a thumbnail but I didnt touch because I know better.

Mock strawberry (Potentilla indica)

They are even safe to eat but dont taste good. Like unripe strawberries.
If they’re the same plant that grows behind my grandparents house (in southern France) then they are _not_ safe to eat and will cause gastric issues (upset stomach, diarrhea).
Does the fruit point toward the sky with the skirt of foliage supporting its base?
We called them false Strawberries.
