I live in WI and these are growing wild next to a building. Can someone identify it for me? Thanks, Todd

Looks like a solanum.

Lots of edibles in that family and lots of poisonous plants, so they need to be IDed to the exact species. This one is getting closer -

That looks like it, thank you for your help. I'm glad I didn't just try eating them

It's actually quite toxic to livestock as well. If they don't have enough to eat, they will eat it but then they can die.
