Stinging nettle identification

Southern ontario - trying to forage nettles for the first time. I'm somewhat confident that the plant in the latter two photos are nettles, but they are growing alongside the simillar-looking plant in the first two photos. How can I tell the difference? Or are they the same plant but different varieties or ages?

I haven't been able to come across any super helpful sources for identifying nettles yet -- please share if you have any

Sorry in advance for the sub par photos, I was worried about getting stung bu the plant. Thank you!
