I picked them from a random bush

    Blackberries, as posters have already indicated.

    Black raspberries have a core that stays on the plant when harvested. And at least for R. occidentalis, have a bit of a whitish powder between individual grains (similar I suppose to the wax coating on the canes that gives them that whitish/purplish cast.

    There’s a fairly profound difference in flavor IMO. I absolutely LOVE blackberries and eat them frequently, make pies, jam, etc. But black raspberries? A whole other level. That flavor, tho….

    Those are blackberries. A black raspberry leaves the core behind on the cane when picked, resulting in a sort of hollow, dome-shape. A blackberry takes the core with it when picked, resulting in a solid berry. You can see the core in one of these berries in this photo.
