Help With Fern? ID Please

[DETHCHEEZ]

It was kind of funny
Had this fern? {Guessing it's a type of fern} growing in one of my pots




Then I traded some plants with a friend at a meeting yesterday & they gave me a piece of the same thing
They also have it growing in some of their pots


Would try to look it up, but have no idea where to start
Anyone know what it is or could be

Thanx & Happy Holidays

[swords]

Selaginellas are commonly called "club mosses" there are many different interesting varieties. I have some that are vertical growers producing very tall erect stems, some that make parasol shaped "fronds" and I have one S. uncinata "rainbow club moss" which changes color depending on light and nutrients, water level, sometimes it's red/bronze, sometimes green sometimes blue. Very easy growers in terrarium conditions. Don't let them stay sopping wet all the time though.
