red berry or seed?
Hello all,
I took this photo of what appeared to me at the time to be red berries, but now I am not sure and am interested in finding out exactly what they are. http://gallery.photo.net/photo/3837077-lg.jpg Each red "berry" is oblong and is only about 1/3 inch long. Usually hanging off in groups of 2, 3, or 4 and they have little knobs on the opposite end of where they attach. I found them in little patches usually nearby the base of sugar maple trees near the south shore in Massachusetts, USA. I believe they had pasty insides. I took a couple home, and after drying out, I find they have a single small black seed inside. Thanks for any help! -Tom |

Looks like a fruiting stem of a Barberry (Berberis).
