Definitely wood sorrel. It tastes like green apples and is a nice quick snack! Its scientific name is oxalis stricta.

They have oxalic acid make it taste sour. We call them lemon grass growing up. It’s bad for teeth if you eat too much. Oxalic acid is the main ingredient in BarKeepers Friend, a cleaning powder.

Shamrock looking plants like these are either clover or oxalis, this is oxalis. You’ve probably seen the purple oxalis before, they are great plants since they are so hard to kill. Taste good too, if you like sour stuff. This particular one is wood sorrel as everyone else is saying.
Some species of oxalis close their leaves and flowers at night and open them in the morning. They are great houseplants

I just finished pulling a bunch of this out of our grass It’s quite satisfying when you find that long line and pull a bunch up at the same time
