Shrub with Red Berries, ID?

by **MtnHermit** » Thu Oct 13, 2011 7:17 pm

So I was in Dark Canyon, Raggeds Wilderness, a few days ago and came across this woody shrub with clusters of red berries. Curious as I am, had to know what is the name of the shrub? Edible? Google was no help. Any ideas?

Thanks for looking.

Look like Red elderberries. Do a google image search to compare pics.

One site said they can cause diarrhea

From the picture, looks like what is commonly called Mountain Ash:
