Thank you Jean10! I am in Ohio now but will let the land owner know that he has wild ginger in his woods! Thanks again!

Thanks Kudjomojo! It was not a vine, and the fruit really threw me as well. Not sure at all here, but moved to Ohio and I have a similar plant growing in what would be an old flower bed off my front porch. So it still stumps me.

I'm not sure. The leaves look like they could be ginger but the flower/fruit doesn't quite look right. Every ginger I have seen had a dark maroon flower. Also, it's hard to tell from the pictures but, is this a vine? Because ginger is not viney.
