Even the marble sized ones may change color & smell ripe but due to their size won’t contain much food or literally be empty sometimes.
They don’t all have to be large but the bigger ones always contain more food value. Make sure to check the plants that have fallen on the floor, I found many green mayapple fruits rolled over on the Forrest floor (Off & away from the plant), that’s probably what’s going on in your patch.
Just check the surrounding area, they can’t fall far from the plant/patch.
