I want to try and pick and cook fern fiddleheads that grow around our house in upstate New York, but I don't know if there are any ferns you should not try and eat. Does anyone know? I'm told that cooked fern fiddleheads taste like asparagus.

Thanks for the help!

We have tons growing around the house. The only thing I've heard is that the "hairy" ones are not a sweet as the "non-hairy" ones. Does that make sense??? I just want to try. I love the idea of foraging a little.

OH I LOVE FIDDLE HEADS! I grew up in vermont and we just picked the ones that grew around the pond in our backyard. I never heard about any being toxic but I wouldnt take my word for it! YUM sauted with a bit of butter and some salt! They are also REALLY good pickled. Man I wish fiddleheads grew down here!
