    Margie, without a photo most of us have no idea what they could be. I have been looking at photos of the Kangaroo Paw Fern and there are white roundish splotches on the leaves...is that you are referring to? If so, those are normal.

    Some of our ferns grow like that and the 'long round things' are new shoots or leaves growing. However, I this may not be the case with your plant so a photograph would help us out. Is this what you mean?

    Margie leave them out of the ground as they're part of the plant and nothing to do with the roots. I hope the fern does well for you.
