This is, I believe, a Northern Maidenhair Fern - Adiantum Pedatum - if I spelled it incorrectly, it's because I didn't feel like putting on my reading glasses. This is my favorite of all the ferns growing up here - I like their architecture.There is an amazing diversity of life in the forests - we are, after all, a temperate rain forest. Mushroom season is done for this year - I didn't see any fresh ones today, just some old and shriveled up 'shrooms. This is the first time in months I've been out in the woods, so it was extra enjoyable for me. Glenna (my Australian Shepherd) has sorely missed our weekly walks - but when things get busy at home and at the store, I have less time for hiking about in the redwoods.
