Tuber Sword Fern
Nephrolepis cordifolia
30.3322, -81.6556
Field Notes
Habitat:
considered invasive in Florida
Notes:
Okay so I dug up a common fern and found it had fuzzy grape like nodules on it's roots. I was curious as to if they were edible.
it is known as the tuber sword fern.
the site claims that N. exalta NEVER bears tubers on it's roots. It's definately N cordifolia.
an interesting thing, I found in many different sources that the tubers are edible and natives in nepal eat them regularly.
