Hey guys, I am currently trying to identify several species. I am stuck as to which species of ferns I have here? I will list them numerically (1,2,3) so it is easier to answer Thanks for your help!

1.










2.







3.



Thanks again.

Please can you stick with one plant per thread in future.
Sorry but ferns are really hard.
Ferns from pics even harder!
Need an expert.
Are they ferns found growing wild OR ferns in a garden?
Accurate id is best done from the sori/spores on the back.
Different ferns have different patterns in the dots.
https://www.google.com/search?...
Shape/habit/size all play a part in id as well.
Seeing a frond laid flat on a table does not really give enough clues to shape...is it an upright fern or one that flops over.
etc etc etc.

I would struggle to id the terrible Engish bracken if photographed like this.
Sorry I cannot help.
Below is Dryopteris sieboldii.


This is the scaly male fern Dryopteris affinis.

So..... today I went for a walk and took some pics of Pteridium aquilinum...common name bracken...now dying back and turning golden.
The plants are over 2 m tall/over 6ft.
No sori to be seen...they are so miniscule they cannot be seen by the naked eye. See link.

Thanks for all the info! I understand they're hard. I'm thinking this is a male fern?

Male fern...Dryopteris filix mas.
Maybe others can help.
Still you do not show pics of the sori.
Suggest you compare to link..

Hey sorry. This is the only one with spores at the bottom. Is this any better?

I'm not a fern expert, but I wonder if #3 could be a Soft Shield Fern (Polystichum setiferum) ?
