Does anyone know which fungus this is?

Yes this is a Bracken Fern... you can google images for Pteridium aquilinum. Bracken ferns contain a carcinogen (linked to some stomach and esophageal cancers, first noticed in cattle that had this fern growing in their pastures)...It's extremely invasive, likes to colonize disturbed ecosystems...
