What are these berries? / myLot

I have this weird plant that is growing in the narrow space between the shed and the wall. It's got large leaves. In the past month or so it has had these berries between the leaves. I'm wondering if they are poisonous. Any pointers?

It looks like 'deadly nightshade' to me. Its botanical name is Atropa belladonna.

I don't want to try it unless I'm sure.

@pitstop I try to keep them out. I especially try to keep the berries from forming as that is the seeds

We get weeds with berries on them. I certainly wouldn't eat them. Have a good day.
