Scientific Name: [Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn ]
Ethnobiology Info: This common fern dies back in the fall, leaving its brown, wilted leaves on the ground throughout the winter. The fresh leaves have been used for wiping the slime from salmon and as an undermat when cleaning fish. The thick, underground, root-like stems have been used for food.
