Description
The Male Fern is one of the commonest woodland ferns in Europe. This image was taken in the late afternoon sunshine in woodland in South Shropshire, England. The sun was low in the sky backlighting the fern, silhouetting the many spores or sori, it had on the underside of its frond. The sori are closely packed in two rows and become brown as they mature.
