Fiddleheads are a real delicacy up here in Maine at this time of year.I am transplanted "flat-lander" 16 years ago and was quickly introduced to them. I purchase "clean" fiddleheads; rewash them at home; par boil or steam; add butter and lemon pepper. They are out of this world delicious.

My daughter lives in the northern lower UP. and has lots of forests and streams where they like to grow. We eat them like asparagus. Anything you can do with asparagus you can do with a fiddle head. Looks like I am going to miss the fiddlehead gathering again this year. :cry: she will share. :-D

That's impressive. I was going to guess insect eggs before I saw the answer.

I think the structures are known as sporangia, spores are within them. Thus giving ferns the general term sporophyte or spore bearing plant, Of course all other big plants are sporophytes also. No I've not seen this particular fern before, but I rarely look at them and I'm a botanist.

Burton, Not not grapes of any sort.
Gonenoodling, Nor mistletoe. (I like your user name.)
But I hope both of you continued on and read the thread and now know it is fiddlehead fern.
