Horse chestnuts

A few people mentioned the nuts I found may be chestnuts.  So I Googled chestnuts and discovered these are "horse chestnuts", not merely chestnuts.  Earlier today I nibbled slightly on one of the nuts and it tasted terrible.  Good thing I barely nibbled on the nut as horse chestnuts can be toxic.  Other than the bad taste, I had no other reaction to my nibbling on the nut.
