Thanks very much, everybody!

 

Ece, the texture of this strange gall is quite hard to describe. It's soft but not entirely so. If you've ever held a ball of raw wool before it has been cleaned and carded, it's rather like that. The outer filaments are firm but not spiky. Hair that has been lightly hair-sprayed would feel similar.

 

The Wikipedia article is worth a look.
