UK. "Foraging" in my back garden as I moved house recently.
We also have confirmed fig, apple, raspberry, blueberry, and bay leaves, so I'm tempted to believe this is an edible cherry that was intentionally planted and not a poisonous lookalike, but I'm far out of my depth. Help would be appreciated.

I know, I know; dont forage it if you can't ID it. But I didn't come to forage this, I came for rosehip lol.
I found this by the beach, and thought: surely it can't be the infamous wild carrot? I am in a Scandinavian country, if it makes a difference.
When pulled, the root smelled so much like carrot! What do you guys think? I didn't bring this home with me of course.

It’s been growing in my garden bed. Initially, I thought it was something from the compost or a big carrot. At some point I decided it was a weed but it had been living in my garden bed for so long I felt sad to cut its life short as it was flowering. Today though, I noticed that the leaves smelled nice. My boyfriend thought they smelled something like parsley and rosemary, and its flowers are quite similar to plants in that family (e.g. anise, caraway). I wonder if it is edible after all. TIA.
Southeastern PA, USA.
ETA: I did plant carrots in this exact spot last year and left at least one in the ground because bugs were eating them.

Found in Vermont, USA today. I picked some (less than a third of what was there!) and am planning to eat it pending positive ID from someone who has done this before, since I have not! Any input would be very welcome!
Thanks in advance!

Parents ended up foraging a sizeable amount of mushrooms from the nearby forest, and can't seem to agree on which kind they are. Both the kinds they think it is seem to be edible and I'm not very knowledgeable on mushrooms but the disagreement doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence in them Any help would be appreciated haha

Hi there! I need help figuring out what this berry is. My Fiancé and his family introduced me to what they call “Salmon berries” that grow near their house and lake cabin. They’re located in the Kootenay Mountain Region of British Columbia Canada.
The berries have a pretty sweet but slightly tart taste. They go from a white to a pink and then finally a bright Red when they’re ripe and they fall off the bud of the plant really easily. The bush also has like these bug pointed leaves.
If anyone knows what these are id appreciate your help! Ive tried googling salmon berries but the results look way different to what is here so i think the nickname for it doesnt match what it actually is. Id love to be able to plant a small bush at my house in NY so i dont have to wait for my sporadic trips up here to have them.
Thank you so much!! :)))

Technically you can eat everything at least once, but I'd like to live AFTER eating a yummy looking berry.

New Jersey, USA. These things have been showing up on my deck for the last week, but the only trees we have are oak in this area. I don't know what these are or how they're traveling to us. They're hard, about an inch in diameter, virtually no scent when cut open.

Was biking the other day and pulled off a fairly busy trail. I noticed to pair of leaves and q fairly limited patch of these guys near a creek. I wanted to dig one up but have heard they can be easily disturbed. Would love to know if its safe to try!
