The snakeberry (also a nightshade) -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_dulcamara https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_dulcamara -- has fruits that look almost identical to a tomato, and while not deadly... incredibly uncomfortable and bitter.
I came across these on a trek in the woods, and thought they were wild tomatoes at first. Fruit looks identical. But of course, I knew never to eat a nightshade. It's not surprising that Europeans thought tomatoes were poisonous. Nightshades are no joke.
