Photo of a wood understory with a fern with unfurling scaly fronds and right in front of it bright purple toothwort flowers emerging from the ground
Unfurling fern for #FernFriday, eclipsed by bright flowers of purple toothwort (Lathrea clandestina), who parasites the roots of surrounding trees 🌿

Cinnamon fern. Osmundastrum cinnamomeum White fuzzy bud. The start of the fiddle head for cinnamon fern. This thick woolly hair will persist as the fiddle head emerges. This persistence denotes it difference from interrupted fern. The woolly hair will turn brownish. The interrupted woolly hair will remain white or silvery. Last year's stipes surrounding the emerging fern. Domestic plant. Dandelion next to fern. Sign marker out of focus in foreground.
Interrupted fern. Osmunda claytoniana The white, woolly hair is a characteristic of the fern's fiddle head. It will fall off soon after the fiddle head grows a bit taller. Similar to cinnamon fern, but does not persist. Color remains white or silvery. Cinnamon fern will turn brownish.
It's spring, just a start of ferns.
Left - Cinnamon fern. Osmundastrum cinnamomeum
Right - Interrupted fern. Osmunda claytoniana
One can see the 'family' resemblance. Both are members of the family Osmundaceae. Both have 'woolly' starts to their fiddleheads.

Close-up of a small green fern with smooth, shiny, tongue-shaped leaves called fronds; at its centre a new frond is unfurling. It is growing out of a crack or small hole in a tree trunk and there is also moss and lichen on the dark rough tree bark around the fern.
A small Hart's-tongue Fern, Asplenium scolopendrium, with some new growth unfurling has made its home in a tree trunk, surrounded by mosses and lichen; seen last week in #Cambridge

A green frond with fine brown hairs pushing through a pale brown blanket of dead fronds.
Pteridium aquilinum (Bracken) crozier pushing through last year's fronds. The fine brown hairs quickly disappear, but at the moment they highlight the extra-floral nectaries (two green glossy glands) at the pinnal junctions. #fernFriday #nectar

Dozens of green tiny heart shaped fern gametophytes growing on wet soil.
Very pleased with my Adiantum formosum gametophytes. Sowed at an Edge Hill University / BPS spore sowing workshop 6 weeks ago. #FernFriday #BritishFernSociety

#Fernfriday While visiting a tropical greenhouse, I observed the abaxial surface of the fertile pinnae of Niphidium crassifolium, revealing globular sori that consist of an array of minute leptosporangia.

Rustyback fern, Asplenium ceterach, growing on the flint wall of All Saints' church Menham Suffolk with the top of the tower and the flag of St George showing above against a blue sky. There's a circular inset showing a close-up of the fern.
'Down at the Flag and Fern' - a fern growing high up on a church wall. 😉

The image shows Cinnamon Ferns growing in a forested swamp on the edge of a bog along the Boreal life Trail boardwalk at the Paul Smiths College VIC, a nature preserve in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. Cinnamon Ferns turn orange, gold, or copper as the weather gets colder in the fall. This photo was taken in late September. Cold weather comes early in the Adirondacks.

A few green croziers starting to push through in a brown crown of scales and old frond stipes.
First #SignsOfSpring - croziers of the Brittle bladder fern (Cystopteris fragilis) just starting to unfurl. #fernFriday #pteridology

The rock walls of a chasm in the gritstone rock, encrusted with lichen, carpeted with moss, adorned with ferns. Gnarled trees grow overhang the far wall, silhouetted against the blue sky

Polished section of a fossil fern showing the internal structure of the trunk. There is a thick mantle of small roots (R) surrounding the trunk. The vascular tissues of several leaf bases are visible. Paläontologisches Museum München public exhibit.
Of course the best fossils are always ✨Paleozoic plants✨ This is a polished section of a Psaronius tree fern from the early Permian (~290 million years) of the Czech Republic 🌿⛏️ We can see the root mantle (R) and the base of several leaves (arrows). Happy #FossilFriday & #FernFriday! #paleobotany

Recognised by the three-dimensional nature of each frond, and the characteristic 'bunny-ear' shape of the first pinnae (leaf-like structures) appearing from the rachis (stem)
Where conditions are good for growth, Beech Fern can dominate small stands. It is a rhizomatous fern that creeps along woodland floors and rock faces, preferring a slightly base-rich influence.
Beech Fern
Phegopteris connectilis
A huge stand of beech fern in Roudsea woods, Cumbria for #fernfriday
Literally translating as phego (beech) ptetis (fern), 'connectilis' refers to the basal pinnules of each pinnae being entirely fused to the rachis 🌿
