Random berries I found growing on a fence on my way to work
Hi I found these berries on a fence. I pass by them every day and was curious about they kind they are and if they’re edible. Anyone know. Please and thank you!
Looks like muscadine. Should mature into a a deep purple edible grape like berry. Taste can be semisweet to very sour. Peeling the skin can reduce the sourness.

Definitely not muscadine like the person above stated. Not a grape but is in the family it’s called porcelain berry, a species of pepper vine it’s edible when ripe but tastes rather bland and tart, I don’t even make syrups or jelly/jam out of them and I love making jam/jelly/syrups out of any edible berry.

They look like porcelain berries.

I think these are porcelain berry which are toxic. I’m basing this on the fact that there are wide varying colored berries in the same cluster and that they are speckled. ETA: I will say that the leaves don’t look quite right, but idk.

As others have already said, porcelain berries. Here’s a closer look.

I think they are pretty. But they’re an invasive species.
Oh wow I’ve never seen light blue ones like that before that’s cool
