I can't pretend to know much about foraging mushrooms, but I don't think these ones will kill you but I also don't think they taste very nice! They're not sought after by foragers anyway (and are pretty small)

I thought so too! More mushroom-shaped when viewed from the side, but like little marbles when I looked down on them from overhead
