Hi,
1. Definitely some kind of mushroom (don’t eat them!)
2. This looks like some sort of wild berry. If you can get a clear close-up of the green berry-looking things, I’ll try for a better ID.
3. Stinging nettle. Do NOT try to remove without gloves with rubber soles.
Thanks for the response, and those mushrooms (#1, below) are gone!
Here is a picture of what I THINK is the plant I asked about, # ---143842:
Looks like I switched a picture from the “#1 of 3” and “#2 of 3” queries. The plant you mention below is about 18” high right now (no berries that I can see). The one from “#2” is about 15 feet high with green berries? These seem to be fairly common…
Thank you again, and I will have a “#3 of 3” set in the mail shortly.
Sincerely,
-carl

PS. I DON’T want Stinging or Dead Nettles, right?

Hi,
Just say no to stinging nettle. I’m checking with others on the other plant and will get back to you.

Hi,
We think the first picture is this (and not a mushroom): https://www.minnesotawildflowers.info/fern/field-horsetail
The bottom plant appears to be red elderberry.
Ah, thank you, again, for these answers
