What is the difference between wild hops and the varieties that we use to brew? The reason I am asking is that there is a fence near where I live full of hops. Also is there any way to find out what kind of hops they are?

I've spent a lot of time looking, but can't find a good set of images on the web. Some really great references and descriptions are available, but very few images.
Might be a good wiki project for late summer.
I had a thought while away from the computer. I live close enough to Penn State that I may email their ag department and see if I could send them a sample of some part of the plant or the actual hop cone when they develop. Maybe they could help.
