I've eaten them and I felt no ill effects and they tasted like you would expect sweet little strawberries to taste. I just found this:
The fruit ripens in late spring or early summer. Much smaller than commercial strawberries, it takes long to collect, but tastes much better. Stuff yourself with wild strawberries, collect them to use on cereal, in pancakes, oatmeal, fruit salad, sauces, or other desserts. Theyíre so good, they're the symbol of perfect excellence.
Now I'll eat even more of them!
I also found this and it reminded me of Ocm?:
A HAIKU GUIDE TO WILD STRAWBERRIES
1. Always pick the day
before the berry;
try the first day of summer.
2. Then fall to your knees
and follow your nose
in a field the sun favors.
3. Yes, bring a bucket
but to eat your fill,
you must be lucky or small.
4. And to bring them home,
even to loved ones,
makes you a strawberry saint.
