These grow wild in the darkest, moistest parts of my garden, particularly along the stream I have flowing through the back of my property. Here is a picture of a fertile frond, which emerge around midsummer. I have heard them described by a few people, not just kids, as "spooky". They do look rather like big green centipedes, and have a primitive appearance, but I like them.
