Chanterelles, Trumpets, and Related Species
Chanterelles and their relatives are a group of fungi known for their distinctive vase-like or trumpet-like shapes. Instead of true, blade-like gills, they typically have ridges, folds, or a smooth surface on the underside of their cap. This list includes species from the Cantharellaceae and Gomphaceae families, as well as some look-alikes from other families found in British Columbia.
