It's not bush or tree roots though it had the red berries a single stalk growing out on top of an old large rock in the woods the soil was really dark and moist but not very deep so it couldn't grow down.

I've been looking online all-day and can't find any sound way of identifying it.

I found these today they had red berries on the stalk but no leaves seeing how it's fall. The roots look pretty similar but long and skinny. They were growing on a big rock in a forest so I think that might be why they look so different. Because they only had 2 of 3 inches to grow down maybe?
