It's hard like a root but hence the name it looks like a horn

    It looks like an outgrowth of the sterile fronds of the staghorn, what's the consistency like?

    Fertile fronds bear spores on their undersurface, are dichotomous or antler shaped and jut out or hang from the rhizome. The spores are born in sporangia clustered in large sori that are usually positioned on the lobes or at the sinus between frond lobes.

    We call it a stag horn fern....because it looks like an antler.

    I have two very very large Staghorns, I would like to take them down a little. I know you can cut into them to obtain more plants but how? Just cut and don't worry about ones around the cut, cut from the bottom or just from the sides?
