If I’m not mistaken, those are “horse chestnuts”.

When I lived in England, we’d drill a hole through them and insert a shoelace, tying a knot to hold it on. Then you swing them at another kid’s, as he held it hanging. You lost when yours broke.

Actually, the (Ohio) buckeye is Aesculus glabra, which has poisonous seeds, and also has leaves and twigs that stink when crushed, so it's a perfect mascot for Ohio State. You're welcome.

The American chestnut has seeds that are edible.
