lurker with a name that plant request

This evening we noticed that our grass seems to be taken over by... something...  It looks like a clover type plant to me, by the googling I have done does not seem to agree. It is growing in big patches in our lawn, kind of spreading out from the wooded area.  I have been searching online and cannot find this anywhere.  In early spring, it had pretty tiny yellow flowers and now the red berries have popped up.

Doe anyone know what this is?  Is it invasive (which would be lovely next to my garlic mustard infestation, sigh....)? It is kind of pretty, but I need to know what it is!

Thanks so much! (and thanks also for everything I have learned from you guys :) )

  • Oh you win a wild strawberry pie!

    Do I cultivate them?  Will they spread all over?  Are they safe to eat?  This is so cool :)

    Thanks!!!

  • Yes, they are safe to eat and yes, they are invasive.  They spread like wildfire.  I spent two years ridding my back yard of wild strawberries.
