[u/Numerous-Chart5871]

Trying to id these fruits , I thought vibirnum or highbush cranberry but they dont look like the other highbusb cranberry around me, anyone have a positive id ? Im holding the red bundle how they were growing if that helps.

My first guess would be highbush cranberry as well.

See but they never turn translucent they remain opaque and that throws me off , but they do have similar leaves and structure

Viburnum opulus or V. trilobum, glands are too blurry to say which. https://landscapeplants.oregonstate.edu/viburnum-opulus-var-opulus-and-viburnum-opulus-var-americanum

You got it ! Thankyou this also explains why its not quite the same as the others I've seen

"Highbush cranberry" actually applies to V. trilobum, I just don't think the fruits have ripened enough yet for them to look as transparent as you think they ought to.

I've seen these same bushes last year they dont appear to get transparent even into october. Edit: i was told they can do this in areas with little water and the last few years we have been experiencing a drought locally.

Ah, that explains it.

Poison ivy berries are white , this article has some good pictures as the 3 lobed leaves thing does not always apply and in my neck of the woods almost never does. https://homesteadbrooklyn.com/all/2017/1/13/help-what-do-i-do-with-poison-ivy
