not sure what this is but as a kid in Indiana we called it “bittersweet” which is odd bcz we certainly never ate it
grapevine pulled down to save our pine tree
the moss around these gnarled roots looked pretty to me

#1 American bittersweet. Good thing you never ate it - it's toxic for mammals.

#1 As @plantpr0n said Celastrus, ornamental plant, but invasive and poisonous.

Depends on the species! There is a native and Asian species both!
plantpr0n
But yes, don't eat either!

Right. If it is the Asiatic kind (as I believe from the image - that's the one I speak about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celastrus_orbiculatus ) it's as I said. But in the american kind (Scandens), only the fruits are poisonous and it's not invasive, only harmful for trees.
