Moss, Ferns & Cryptogams

Hi! My Name is Marcy!

I post on a few other boards and was looking for the name of my new plant I picked up at Home Depot last week and found this place. It reminds me of my kangaroo fern, but the leaves on this plant are more of a bluish green and the roots/paws look entirely different. Any help would be appreciated.

Looks like Phlebodium aureum. I'm sure one of the experts here can say for sure.

I have two of them. Be prepared. If you treat it right it will get very large.
