Growing up in the NorthEast, I can say I've eaten many random berries, from the ones that grow on forsythia to the pimento looking ones that grow on shrubbery.

I think I've been pretty lucky; however, I did always avoid (wild) mushrooms...

I'm pretty sure I was told those pimento ones were poisonous as a kid.

Me to. Haven't thought about it in ages. Does anyone know what they are and if they're poisonous ?

It looks like they're these:

Looks like the berries are technically edible, minus the seeds...
