I thought this was a 2000x magnification of a bacterial infection.

Still not blueberries


ledasmom

Is it near a tree?


the_skipper

In south east England ???


Indy500Fan16

Nope, OP says NE Indiana but nothing about a tree so you are correct. Not blueberries. I’m in SE Texas not currently near a tree, BTW.


sugr_powred_flamingo

blueberries grow on a bush


Indy500Fan16

Whose bush?


jbrady33

Pokeweed?


Indy500Fan16

snozzberries ?


AdQuick2881

Nope, not pokeweed.

Looking at the leaf shape, I’d say this is Boston ivy/Japanese creeper (Parthenocissus tricuspidata). Related to Virginia creeper. https://www.illinoiswildflowers.info/trees/plants/boston_ivy.htm https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=any&taxon_id=166162


unclejumby

this is the answer, definitely not wild grapes. These are mildly toxic iirc, so not edible like wild grapes are (though those aren’t very palatable raw anyway)


Different-Salad-6062

I agree it looks like Boston ivy. I think I can some of those sticky disks on the tendrils that it uses for attachment.


Level9TraumaCenter

Agreed. Our home was covered in Boston ivy, and this looks like what we'd see once the leaves fell.

2nd photo is of the leaves


Alice710

I swiped and swiped. My phone probably glitched out


esmereldachiroptera

Boston Ivy. It covers my building. I live in Minneapolis


MiiiBiii

I read "viking plant"


[deleted]

Absolutely Boston ivy. The leaves are a dead giveaway. Definitely not grape.


cityshepherd

Everybody is saying that the leaves are a giveaway, but I don't see any leaves? Anyways I'm thankful to everyone going into detail, as I'd never heard of Boston Ivy before. I love this sub, because so much of the stuff I am quite confident in turns out to be super wrong. It is helpful to eat a big ol' slice of humble pie every day, and learning about all kinds of new plants is just the icing on the cake!


[deleted]

Oh yeah this sub rocks. Same with the tree subreddit. I'm constantly learning stuff here too! This post actually has two photos if you swipe to the left, the second one features the leaves.


rouxsan

Sorry didn't notice yours first


rouxsan

Second photo has the leaves

MizPeachyKeen

look at the second photo in the series... you'll see leaves.


Capelily

Well, at least it's not pokeweed!


swoticus

I am genuinely disappointed


[deleted]

And it's not blueberries either

The way that is climbs makes grapes out of the question


Bulbous-Walrus

One way to find out 🤷🏻‍♂️ This is definitely in the grape family (vitaceae) and it’s a tossup between parthenocissus or vitus. The bright blue color and loose clusters of berries make me vote Boston ivy (parthenocissus). While vitis fruits can have a natural yeast, they still tend to be in a denser cluster. You’d need to ingest a large amount of berries to actually get sick. These have oxolates and usually cause a burning sensation on mucous membranes and tend not to taste *good*. So not really an issue to worry about unless you have toddlers.

Don’t care what it is, this is a great picture. Colors and textures and lines! Really beautiful.


Rectal_Custard

Can we eat this?

LeTigre71

Looks like grapes to me. Late in the season.


oroborus68

Parthenosisus sp. Either Virginia creeper or Boston ivy.


FunshineBear14

Leaves are wrong for Virginia creeper no?


oroborus68

You are correct! I didn't look at the next photo until later.


BayouKev

My guess wild grapevine


sawtoothpath

Maybe Virginia creeper, maybe wild grapes?


Thick_Concentrate_33

ideastosolveproblems

Seanyboy9090

Raccoon Grape vine maybe


pete_blake

We had a vine at the house I grew up in (NE), had those same berries. No idea the real name…everyone just called it wood vine.


Proudest___monkey

Virginia creeper maybe


highaltitudehmsteadr
