There are a few varieties of huckleberries that range from light purple to dark blue, almost black. In my neck of the woods (NW USA) you can go up into the mountains in late summer and get lighter colored huckleberries and then in the fall you can get the dark ones on the coast off the evergreen huckleberry bushes. None that I’ve seen grow in bunches, though the evergreens are more densely packed.
Interestingly enough, both mountain and evergreen huckleberry bushes tend to grow in places where you can find chanterelles, though not necessarily at the same time.
