I have a few plants which I thought were wild blueberries, but noticed this year they had pink, not white, urn-shaped flowers. Thought maybe it was a different variety (we have highbush and lowbush, blue and black blueberries growing wild all over our place). The berries turned dark, almost black, but did not soften like ripe blueberries do. They really didn't taste like much. They also have a "star" shaped scar on the blossom end, but not the little "crown" that blueberries do. I cut one open, scraped out the seeds, found 8 - not 10 as I understand huckleberries have.

Is this a black huckleberry or something else? Is it edible? Am I picking it too early? I thought huckleberries were supposed to be sweeter than blueberries but these were just bland and a little hard, not juicy at all.
