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. http://procezzed.blogspot.com/2012/02/ne...
