Blue berry, or possibly blaeberry.

Thanks. I looked this up, but am seeing an issue that my first photo
failed to show.

This end-of-berry shot shows the absence of the 5 pointed flower scar
on what I've got, but both wiki and google images show that
characteristic hollow scar on all blueberry pictures.

The other thing I'm slightly puzzled about is the berries are green
fleshed inside, and dotted singly about the bush, not in bunches. Yet
wiki says

'Cyanococcus blueberries can be distinguished from the nearly
identical looking bilberries by cutting them in half. Ripe blueberries
have white or light green flesh, while bilberries and huckleberries
are red or purple throughout. Bilberries are most often found
singularly or in pairs, while blueberries are most often found in
clusters.[3]'

So, what's going on? My number one concern is to be sure its edible.

I thought that it was Prunus, not Vaccinium, but I'm not confident of
the identification.

As for eating stuff, the rule of thumb should be on the lines of don't
eat something unless you are 110% sure of the identity.

Also some sort of oak, but the leaves are round:

* No oak at all; it's alder

(Its growng in water, but doesnt match the water oak).

And finally I presume this is snowberry:

Yes
