Hello I found a berry bush that I would like to know the identification of. I live in central Ohio and I was checking on some pawpaw trees in the forest today when I stumbled upon an interesting small bush that had green through yellow to red berries that were similar in appearance to that of a cherry tomato. But they are very small; no bigger than a raisin. Each berry droops down on a vine like cluster and the leaves were very peculiar; they have 3 lobes that conjoin close enough to the midrib to be mistaken for separate leaves and each lobe has a smooth margin and one large central leaf that juts out with 2 smaller lobs poking out at base of leaf. The color of the leaves are a darker green.
Here are some photographs of some specimens I took home for identification (The leaf has some bug damage so the shape isn't perfect; but hopefully this will be enough for some of you to recognize this plant):
