    Thanks for the patience - I'm new to this. I'm beginning to see that poison ivy isn't that easy to identify.

    I'm starting a Wisconsin wild plant/flower collection and want to find the 'bad guys' first, just to have them.

    I've already pressed some water hemlock samples and would like reasonably positive ID that this is poison ivy. I'm not about to touch it/handle it to find out.

    Found in SE Wisconsin at a small park. Had cinquefoil growing nearby.

    Yes, I wore gloves. :)

    Certainly looks like Poison-ivy.

    Thanks knowledgeable people! This one's going in the 'yuck' collection.
