Refresh my memory, what do you do with those things?
Mike -
I think they are edible and pretty tasty, but can be poisonous if prepared incorrectly.
At least thats what I saw on T.V. Andrew Zimmern I think it was. -
They are delicious!
-
I have eaten them for years without a problem. They do get toxic if allowed to mature. They should be picked as soon as they pop up and boiled for ten minutes, although I have eaten them sauted.

you just got me hungry. was looking at some i transplanted, they look small but should pop any day. maine must be getting close, ill have to check in at the little store on the way upfukahwee maineyou can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

those things are great just sauted up with a little garlic and butter. the season is short, it lasts 3 maybe 4 weeks starting in southern mass and finishing in northern maine. people keep the areas secret where they grow and you will see folks walking down the sides of the road searching them out. they are kinda like baby asparagus with more flavor. they have a following similar to morel mushrooms
heres a pie i did a couple years back

Does it matter what species of fern you pick? I have several types in my yard, Christmas fern, Hayscented fern, Cinnamon fern and probably a few others that I can't identify.

Yummy, I wish I could find a place where they are growing nearby, as the price is quite high at the local store.
