I grew some Indian cucumbers this year (in the UK) called 'poona kheera', they started out almost white then turned orange when starting to ripen! They weren't quite as spherical as yours but not by too much. They tasted like regular cucumbers but were particularly crunchy.

    You should be able to make recipes that normally use cucumber, they should taste pretty normal. It may be due to the strain of plant, but this can also happen to normal cucumber planta if the roots are stunted and they don't get enough sun. Color-wise, I have a few cukes that look like that from my garden, and the round shape just betrays the fact that cucumbers are actually a kind of melon!

    I grow lemon cucumbers that look pretty much exactly like that, only difference is they’re slightly more pronounced striping.

    Cut it open, smell it, report back.

    There's several dozen blueberry and bilberry species in the Vaccinium genus and it'll be very hard for anyone to identify which one this is based solely on these photos with no knowledge of where the plant was found.

    It does look like a plant of that genus and to my knowledge there aren't any poisonous species in it, but I don't know the plants in your area.
