Ivy, Oak, and Sumac.
Poison: a substance that is capable of causing the illness or death of a living organism when introduced or absorbed.
There is a great deal of confusion about poison ivy vs. poison oak since there are two kinds of poison ivy and two kinds of poison oak

poison sumac has smooth, not serrated leaves
Poison sumac doesn't have serrated leaves.
Thank you for the correction. I suspect that the plant pictured is Staghorn Sumac:
Not Poisonous. Unlike its close relatives, poison ivy, oak and sumac, the landscape sumacs do not cause itchy rashes. Vine- and shrub-like poison ivy and oak have three distinct leaflets per leaf, so there is no confusing those. But poison sumac (Toxicodendron vernix) is also a small tree with leaves like regular sumac and Staghorn Sumac except Poison Sumac has smooth not saw-toothed or serrated leaves.
