Lonicera involucrata
Low shrub, medium-small leaves, black berry emerging from a furry sheath.
Mountain, alpine
Saw this plant while hiking the Brighton Lakes Trail. Edible berry, but bitter (some say "vile").
Great, Thank you! Confirmed: http://www.laspilitas.com/nature-of-cali... — edible, but bitter.
My reference, (Underhill, "Wild Berries of the Pacific Northwest") says they taste vile.
