Went hiking yesterday with the wife and some friends and we came across these berry plants. I've been picking huckleberries before and we found some along the trail, but nothing in large numbers. We did, however, find a bunch of these berries that looked like a small rendition of a blueberry. I've been trying to identify the plant and the berries. We picked some, but I'm trying to find out if they are good for eating.
It may be my ignorance and these may be huckleberries too, but they look different from the berries I'm used to picking. The bottom part of the berry has the little "flaps" whereas the berries I'm used to picking usually have that circle on the bottom but no "flaps."
I kept the images larger in case someone needed to zoom in for a look.
