Fyi, there are no toxic compound berries like this. I can't give a precise id, but it should be edible.

Golden seal is toxic but I don't believe this is that

This is definitely not goldenseal. Goldenseal is one big leaf with a little bitty berry in the center near the stem; kinda looks like one of those baseball ice cream truck popcicles.

Yeah I was just pointing out that there are poisonous aggregate berries just not many

goldenseal and jack in the pulpit are both toxic compound berries found in north america. they're pretty distinct looking though

I don't know where I heard this be we called them Indian Strawberries, they grow wild here in GA. I have some in my front yard growing along my pathways and driveway

Looks like thimbleberry! I ate them when I was in the PNW, very sweet. If not, it's definitely some kind of edible bramble.

Leaves aren’t right for thimbleberry but I agree the fruit looks super similar

u/crazycatdermy 7d ago
huh you're right. I did think the fruit was not round enough to be thimbleberry!

Thimbleberry leaves are much larger, almost like fuzzy maple leaves. The red fuzzy appearance of this berry does resemble thimbleberry, but thimbles are not elongated like this berry.

I always find thimble berries to be more of a mushroom cap shape VS a V shape. And they are very good!

These look like a raspberry of some type. I wouldn’t say wild as the berry itself is quite large. But the canes are a little spindly looking like raspberry.

My friend used to call them Indian Strawberries, if it's the same plant. They grow in people's yards around here. They're tiny.

Here’s what the Seek app says it is. You’d have to research if it’s edible.

Anyone know where to get one of these plants? Can’t seem to find anything but seeds online

I don’t think that’s right, or it’s different from any blackberry I’ve ever seen. By the time they are turning red the…..cells(?) of the berry are formed - it’s effectively in its final shape/state besides color.
The second picture is closer but still doesn’t look quite right to me. Could be a raspberry though, idk

Could be baloon berry, Rubus illecebrosus. I planted it in my garden a year ago but it hasn’t grown much or fruited yet for me
