We have some ferns growing in a mossy area under a tree. We have many ferns that were here, but this is the only place on the property where I see this fern. As seen in the photo, the fronds don't seem much bigger than 7," and they do have spores on the back side.
Nedhudson1 - I checked out the Polypodium glycyrrhiza-licorice fern and some references look similar but have more pointed fronds as seen at [HYPERLINK@calphotos.berkeley.edu] and some say they grow from 1-2 feet. These have been here a long time and are definitely smaller, but other references describe the mossy environment at the base of a tree which is like mine.
Resin - I am not astute enough to navigate that site. I will leave this post open a few more days, but will be happy enough to know it is some kind of Polypodium.
