Is this poisonous? | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener

Name that plant

Tree or bush with white flowers. Someone thought is was poison hemlock but I don’t think so. The leaves look different.

Not able to see more of the plant, I’m guessing maybe a type of elderberry bush (Sambucus)? According to sources,elderberry cooked fruits are safe but not the raw ones. Checkout the link below of varieties of elderberry flowers & leaves to compare with yours. Clin o images to enlarge. If this isn’t Sambucus, make new post with more photos.
