According to the Peterson Field Guide to Ferns, it is &quot;more common
in folklore and fable than in person&quot;. This time of the year they
are mostly 1&quot; to 3&quot; tall, but stand out a bit due to the yellow
color of the spore cases. They can reach 6&quot; in height later in the
season. This is a stable population, I have seen them there for several
years. Due to their size they are rather hard to find.<br><br>
