Moss, Ferns & Cryptogams

ID these ferns? ....

These ferns are volunteers that appeared in my terrariums. As I know little about ferns any ID help would be appreciated.

;)

These two emerged from sphag. moss. The first looks like a maidenhair to me [but what do I know... ?]

No idea what this one is but the leaves are pretty IMO

This one arose from peat moss [in case that info has any use]. I think it is some sort of Pteris?
