There are so many flowers on most of the Elderberry bushes -- I hope you can at least have a cup of tea, lol. I did say that the leaflets have jagged edges. It's always interesting to hear what people think another plant looks like and could get confused with. Dogwoods don't have compound leaves, so there's no leaflets - and they don't have a soft pith in the center of their branches. And Hercules Club has so many thorns! I could see someone getting Elderberry bushes confused with Smooth Sumac (Rhus glabra), but only if there weren't any flowers or berries -- the important parts, lol! Anyway, I hope you can spare a few Elder berries, so you can enjoy their flowers! :D
