I don't think the first fern frond is bracken because it tapers in top and bottom. Bracken fronds tend to be triangular in shape. It would be a lot easier to identify the fern if you could show the plant the fronds were taken from. Bracken is very distinctive because it isn't a 'shuttle cock' fern, where all the fronds grow from a single point. It has single leaf stems with fronds growing out almost horizontally like eagle's wings, hence its botanical name Pteris (Fern) Aquillinum (Eagle like).
Bracken and sword fern is what we call them, i would not eat them... John Campbell and I were talking about them last night and he mentioned they can cause cancer...
I just sent you a message with a link to the blog i just posted that has pictures of the pages from my edible plant book. Notice at the end where it warns about it causing stomach cancer.
