Okay. I thought that was off of one tree. It looked like dogwood to me, too, but some of the other pics had me messed up. I have a white dogwood that had the red berries on it until a couple of weeks ago.

the second one looks an aweful lot like a chinaberry berry. Sorry, I can't say for sure about either one of them. leaves would be a huge help. The top one resembles the soapberry but i'm going on memory. (that's not so good sometimes!)
btw charibelle, white berries are usually not edible.
at least thats what ive heard.
white berries are often not edible, red berries are usually 50-50, and blue/black are often edible.

My knowledge of wild edibles is very limited. I was doing some research this morning and came across what I think is very scary. I was looking at what looked like a professionally made web site that was providing informations on wild berries. The following statement was on the site.So, here is a place on the web (where everything is factual right?) that is advocating - if you don't know what it is, then eat it and see if it tastes good? Yeah - I'll pass on that advice.It is very easy to identify the berries. If you are on a nature's trail and spot a berry in the wilderness, pluck the berry. Eat it. If it tastes like any of the berries you have eaten, then the berry is an edible fruit. But in case you come across a white berry and you are not sure, whether it is an ivy-berry, then it is better not eaten. Ivy-berries are poisonous berries.

Wow there CrashDive That web site you referenced could get a person sick or worse. I am sure you are joking about passing that info on.
Deadly Night shade has a black berry that said to taste sweet. . . do not eat it or even taste it.
If it is not a positive ID as a safe plant don't stick it in your mouth F.G.
I think you need to re-read his post, FG. He's saying that kind of information is on the web and it's wrong. Everyone here is in the camp that if you can't make a positive ID then don't eat it.
