(wild) berries
We usually use the word "wild" even when they're not (at least where I come from).

: On tea bags I have seen Forest Fruit for this term above. When I speak to Italians they really mean "wild growing in the forest" when they say Frutti di Bosco.

mixed berries
I would put "mixed berries" - if it is referring, as "frutti di bosco" usually does, to a combination of blackberries, raspberries, etc. If you are using the term as an adjective I would instead use "mixed berry", ex.: "mixed berry yogurt"
