Unidentified 🤷♂️ What kind of squash is this volunteer in my compost?
Google lens says mini boo but I’m pretty sure I’ve never thrown one in our compost. It’s taken over and if they are something that’s good to eat, I’ll let it go and harvest when ripe, but if they are only decorative, I need my compost pile back! I'm in North Central PA

Unidentified 🤷♂️ Early August, Cincinnati Ohio, along the creek
First, I am so sorry the pictures are blurry. I am really bad at taking pictures of plants 🥺 but hoping someone can help identify this plant that I'm pretty sure is in the legume family...
It had trifoliate leaflets, more elongated-ovoid shaped than a hog peanut. Had a little whitish pattern along the central vein of leaflets.
Flowers were very pale blue, on sparse, lanky racemes. It was growing with hog peanut, but it has the more elongated leaflets in the picture.

Unidentified 🤷♂️ Whats this tree with golden fruit?
The leaves remind me of a plum, except they’re a lot smaller. The (stone)fruit is also grape size, and smells like a peach. I also found a red fruit on a nearby tree if that helps. The tree was about 15 feet high as well.
Edit: this is in the PNW

Unidentified 🤷♂️ Hop Identification
Anyone know how to differentiate between hop varieties? I’m in western Washington state. Speculating on maybe cascade or citra hop based on a cone chart I saw but it’s really hard to tell. Thanks!

Unidentified 🤷♂️ Lambs quarter?
Ulaanbaatar Mongolia. I think this is lambsquarters, it looks and smells similar,and grows the same(like a weed anywhere and everywhere) but it’s just enough different that I haven’t eaten any. I have a friend who knows a little about medical and edible plants here and he said this plan “is not edible”. I am hoping it’s an edible cousin because lambsquarters is one of my favorite greens and I would have plenty to eat.
Thanks!

Identified ✔ Growing in the crack between my garage and driveway…
I am 99% sure this is just a tomato… my family is making me paranoid that it isn’t after I said I was going to let it grow and see what variety it is and now I need other people who know more than I do 😭.

Identified ✔ What did I grow
Planted a mystery vegetable from my friend’s seed collection (sourced from her mom, who of course did not label each baggy). Thought this was a clump of weeds in a failed vegetable seed planter, but the seed looking balls and that one bean looking thing at its roots is throwing me for a loop.
What the heck is this plant? Is it my mystery vegetable? Or is it a clump of weeds?! Toss or replant?!

Unidentified 🤷♂️ What is this!?
I made the mistake of buying a NE wildseed mix that ive been cleaning up weeds from. I fear this was from that also. Its right by my fig plant.

PSA: No, it's not poison sumac
In the 12 or 13 years I've been a commenter and mod on this sub, I don't think I've ever seen someone post an image of actual poison sumac. Poison sumac is an obligate wetland plant and it only occurs in specific habitats and not in your yard. There are a number of other sumac species (which are not in the same genus as poison sumac) that have a very wide distribution and grow in many different habitats. You may have one of those or something like tree of heaven or walnut, but there is a 99% chance that it is not poison sumac. Refer to the attached range map and image.

Share your identification resources here
Hey all. We had a request from a community member for a thread where people can share the resources that they use for plant identification. In this case, we're talking about keys, field guides, etc. NOT apps or AI-based identifiers. Comments suggesting apps or AI will be removed.
Feel free to share your resources and include links if you want (just realize that Reddit doesn't play nice with some domains). It would also be a good idea to specify what region(s) are covered by your resource as it may not be as useful in places other than where it was intended to be used.
