allamande Posted October 31, 2015 Share #6 Posted October 31, 2015 I've never seen one of these before either. Quite interesting; I love the color and the texture. Are the strands spiky or soft? Beautiful image! Ece Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

euston Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share #8 Posted October 31, 2015 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XVarior Posted November 2, 2015 Share #9 Posted November 2, 2015 I think I've seen them here. I'll look for it next time I'm in the wild and report :-) Beautiful capture. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
