If so, have you seen the California Natural History Guides (University of California Press) "Field Guide to Plant Galls of California and Other Western States" by Ron Russo? I know it's not your part of the world, but it's a-MA-zing. Bought it a few months ago. SO many great photographs of everything you can be a total non-expert and figure stuff out. Over 300 species of plant galls.biobabblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081382623906668057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013316887660017880.post-37063934991824288652010-05-01T09:44:11.489-05:002010-05-01T09:44:11.489-05:00I have always been fascinated by galls...whether t...I have always been fascinated by galls...whether they are insect created or created by some weird fungus. They come in so many shapes, sizes and colors. Their life history is interesting. I ordered this book several weeks ago and absolutely love it, there is a lot of valuable information in it. Did you take a picture of the white cottony galls? I'd love to see it if you did.Shelly Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18367843308248195970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1013316887660017880.post-86966220708310029262010-04-30T23:44:13.966-05:002010-04-30T23:44:13.966-05:00I've been walking around in the Kansas woods n...I've been walking around in the Kansas woods noticing other varieties of galls too. Oh my, there was one poor baby oak tree all covered with big white cottony gall-y-somethings. This book sounds like a good one. Thanks for the heads up :-)Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16769488099776508540noreply@blogger.com
