The most common and most noticeable clusters of white berries one is likely to encounter in Alberta are the fruit of the Red Willow, also known as Bear Berries because bears seem to like them.
My books identify them as Red Osier Dogwood. The plant is a willow that can grow to more then ten feet tall.
They are bitter and dry but not dangerous, although some reports say they are mildly toxic in large quantities.
Bane berries can be white and do grow in clusters and are very dangerous, but are not common.
The plant is an herb that can grow to a bit over two feet tall. It grows mostly in damp shady forests.
Buck Brush berries are greenish white early in the fall and grow in small clusters but they turn purple before hunting season opens plus they often go unnoticed.
The plant is a small bush that grows in open undisturbed ground. It grows to one or two feet tall and the berries are borne close to the stem and in small clusters and therefore go unnoticed even when the plant is noticed.
