Chanterelles (Cantharellus cibarius), or "golden chanterelles," are probably the most well known wild mushrooms. They're sought after by chefs and foodies due to their delicate flavor.
Ramps occur in Eastern North America from Georgia to Canada. They're easily recognized by their 1, 2, or 3 broad leaves measuring 1 to 3 1/2 inches wide and 4 to 12 inches long.
There are a couple of varieties:
Allium tricoccum var. tricoccum: These have wider leaves and red stems.
Allium tricoccum var. burdickii: Also known as narrow-leaf or white ramps.
