    It looks to me like one of the "nightshades" if so NOT at all edible.

    Some forms of nightshare are called "deadly nightshade" for a very good reason. The potato and tomato family are however related to them.

    all berries are edible, just only some are edible more than once!
    and that is one of the bad ones, black or deadly nightshade

    Solanum nigra, Black Nightshade
    not Atropa belladonna, Deadly Nightshade
    It's a common garden annual weed, only a problem if you put it in the fruit salad
