We commonly find both bilberries and low-bush blueberries growing together here (Norway), along with crowberries. I tend to get them confused sometimes, but bilberries are like in your photos with slightly serrated leaves and the little circles opposite the stem, blueberries have smoother leaves and a sort of star shape instead. Photos from a recent walk in the woods (I also found some nice mushrooms, posted in the mushroom thread). Blueberries (and crowberries, edible but not very tasty without additional preparation):  Bilberries:  All three together:  Also found some nice patches of wild strawberries  Tonnes of wild raspberries, small but sweet:  And a berry I'm not familiar with. The clusters remind me a little of skrubbær (Chamaepericlymenum suecicum) but that has a brighter red, smaller leaves and larger berries. So not very similar really.

Definitely not cloudberry, we have those here too and I love them but they aren't quite ripe yet. Looking at various Rubus, it seems like it might be Rubus arcticus, Arctic brambles. Mid-Norway is probably the southern edge of their range but still plausible. And also now I'm wondering if I got bilberries and blueberries confused again in my post above. They're both delicious so I suppose it's OK. big scary monsters fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Aug 3, 2021 |
