Pyzy ([ˈpɨzɨ] singular: pyza) are a type of dumpling (kluski). The dish is most commonly referred to in its plural for pyzy, as it is most commonly served as a main course meal: large oval-shaped kluski, characteristic to Polish cuisine.[1]
Potato pyzy[edit]
Potato pyzy are prepared from a raw or a mix of raw and boiled potatoes,[2] optionally with added flour, eggs and salt, cooked in boiling water. Stuffed with meat, twaróg or mushroom stuffing, alternatively served without stuffing, and instead served with bacon, lard or fried onion.
Dishes prepared similar to potato pyzy include goły, kartacze and Silesian dumplings.
Leavened pyzy[edit]
Leavened pyzy or pyzy drożdżowe are prepared from flour, eggs, yeast, milk, butter, sugar and salt.[3] These are cooked in boiling water or on steam (see pampuchy).[3] In literature, pyzy are said to also be prepared by being baked in an oven.[3]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
