Yes, #5 is the poison ivy. #1, english ivy will probably only affect you if allergic or if you eat it.

#2 is Virgina Creeper-harmless

#3 looks like a raspberry plant. Wear long pants when in these (picking berries) or risk chiggers which will also make a very annoying rash that looks similar to poison oak symptoms after you scratch the heck out of the bites.

Number 4 looks like a variety of wild grapevine. Harmless.

Remember the saying used to identify...leaves of three...Let it be!

If you google...there are lots of images of the three plants that cause the problems. Poison Ivy, Poison Oak, and Poison Sumac. Don't burn it and breathe the fumes/smoke...acts like a blister agent.
