Athyrium rubripes

Athyrium rubripes, known simply as Skip, is a deciduous fern native to the cooler regions of eastern Russia and northeastern Asia. It thrives in moist, shaded environments such as forests and along riverbanks, with a preference for light (sandy), medium, or heavy (clay) soils. This fern can grow up to 0.1 meters tall and is notable for its edible leaves, which have been utilized by local communities. Its distinctive feature lies in its ability to adapt to various soil types while maintaining its presence in the understory of forests across its native range.
