Found in our community garden beds

I found a bunch of these onion looking things while clearing  our community garden beds.
They don't really smell like onions, so I'm worried about about a deadly look alike.
Any ideas on how to positively the identity the these?

If they don't smell like onions or garlic then they probably aren't an allium.
I would suggest waiting for the flowers - it will probably then be easy to tell what they are.

If they don't smell like onions then they probably are not onions:

My plant id app says it's wild garlic. It's does look like a small version of garlic.

If it doesn't smell like onions or garlic - it's not. And there are plenty of toxic lookalikes. Please don't risk it. "When in doubt - throw it out" applies to more than just leftovers.

Oh dear, I wasn't suggesting eating it. I wouldn't either unless I knew for sure, and I wouldn't give anyone advice on what's edible and what's not. Sorry I didn't even think of that.

Kinda like the chives my mom grows, but I’m not entirely sure. We usually use them in dumplings or pancakes, but if you’re unsure about the variety, it’s better not to eat them.

When one is unsure about a plant it can be good to do survival testing on it.  Sit with it in your hand for a bit, wait an hour.  Put it against your lips for several seconds, wait an hour.  lick it/put it in your mouth for a little bit, wait an hour.  And then if nothing has been off kilter then you can try taking a tiny bite, and then wait an hour.  Etc.  Consider that some things need to be cooked to be edible, so maybe even cook it first before taking a bite.  Slow is the key.  Obviously you don't do that unless you have no way to check it out research-wise though, because Ann's  video might answer things so you don't need to try these tests.

Gosh, I'm glad to have found and read this thread. Whenever I find allium-looking stuff growing wild, I just taste a stalk and see what it's like. Maybe I'll back off on that a little!

Have you cut a bulb open and smelled it?

I've crushed the greens and bulb with a thumbnail, and the smell was not pronouncedly onion.
I'll cut some up tonight, to settle the matter.

We cut and sniffed the bulbs last night.
Very weak onion/radish smell.
If it is an allium it's weak one.
The bulb shape also seems to match photos of death camus.
Not worth eating, either way.
I will try growing out a few so I can see the blossoms.
