Young sporophytes!

I late July I started some spores I collected from various ferns. This week I noticed some young sporophytes! I'm not sure of the varieties...they are from 6 different ferns, and I sowed them in what I thought were separate sections in the container, but I have a continuous lawn of prothalli. To make matters worse, the labels (made with a sharpie) have completely dissappeared.
Among them are cinnamon fern, painted fern, autumn fern, and a few unidentified species from the woods and my in-laws yard.

The media is straight peat moss.
Hopefully they will be ready to plant in the ground by the end of next summer.
