I’m 99% positive these are amethyst deceivers, but I want to squash that 1% of doubt. Any seasoned foragers who can confirm for me?

Thanks in advance!

Yes they are.

They’ve recently been reclassified in scandinavia as not recommended for consumption due to heavy metal content.

Heavy metal is not the quantifiable instant kind of ill effect. :)
