Black poop?

So as we introduce more and more solids, his poos are changing color/texture like crazy. Yesterday he had 2 in a row that I swear were black. On the wipe they looked more like a super dark green, but in the dipe they looked black. He didn't eat anything out of the ordinary (for him) yesterday that I'm aware of. Any ideas what could cause this, and is this something I should be worried about?

true black (on wipe) = blood (or excess iron) = trip to doctor.

dark green? i'd watch and wait myself.

Any chance he had a lot of blueberries?

That darkened DD#1's poop to the point that it totally freaked DH out.

He did have a few - maybe 6. Last week when he ate half a clamshell of them though i didn't notice this change. Blueberries is definitely an easy answer though.
