There are also several varieties of wild brambly thing, IIRC. Some of distinctly more spiky and some have fruit with far fewer 'globules'.
I do seem to remember that some of them are non-edible, but that could have just been that my parents used to take me blackberry-picking in places where there was deadly nightshade mixed in or something *shrugs vaguely*
Mind you, the plants were clearly mutated back at home - for example 6'+ tall nettles that could (and frequently did) sting through multiple layers of rubber gloves, gardening gloves/leather mittens. And then proceed to hurt for about a week (no, that isn't childhood exaggeration, my mother still dons protective clothing to try and get rid of them and still gets horribly stung)...
