In summer when I was looking for galls to photograph for National Gall Week, I suspected that many were high above in the trees. Come autumn some of the leafy sort began drifting to ground...the first I noticed literally fell into my lap as I was sitting for a coffee break while woodcutting! That one is yet to come, this one came along the next day (mid October). Possibly Poplar Gall Mite Phyllocoptes populi, on a leaf of Populus balsamifera Balsam
Poplar

1 Afternoon autumn sunshine lights a dry golden poplar leaf, which sits on top of a plastic tote bag (we don't see much of the bag, just a somewhat rumply surface composed of tightly woven strips of black plastic, dark in shadow with near white spots where it reflects the sun). The leaf has numerous paler lumpy bumps where some tiny critter has made galls on the leaf surface (I can't describe the exact process, but roughly they burrow into the living plant tissue, causing the plant to grow deformed tissue around them; different kinds of organisms on different plants causing really varied galls).The leaf has fallen from the tree with autumn, potentially bringing the organisms in contact with the soil- when it fell in October, or in spring. (I haven't yet looked up the life cycle of the organism that caused these galls).

2- same leaf, view of underside, see photo 4 for details

3 closer videw of photo 1 showing the tiny finely bumpy/rough mounds on the leaf surface

4 Close view of the underside of the same leaf. We see the opposite sides of the galls which appear as dark brown patches with a fine crumby texture- like super finely ground dates!

A photo of a small round red gall on an aspen leaf.

This time of year is so interesting for interesting people interested in interesting things. Saw so much
#fungi today, and here are three of the best, plus a really interesting gall

1) Upright Coral fungus
2) Candlesnuff fungus
3) Snowy waxcap
4) Common spangle gall wasp's gall

A pink-orange fungus growing vertically. It resembles very upright coral with little branches coming off at the top

Some thin, pointed vertical fungus growing on wood. They are individual stems, black like coal dust at the base and a little way up the stem, turning to a powdery white

A silky, ivory white round headed fungus in grass. Almost jellyfish like. It has a translucent quality.

Close up of a dark brown oak leak with a number of circular galls with a circular raised centre ... think circular fried eggs of poppers on clothes. They are a pale yellow/off white, with speckles. You can't see them but each raised centre has a larvae inside.

6. Bleeding Moon 出血月

#FanFiction #TheApothecaryDiaries
#wss366 #MastoPrompt

Shortly after Basen left, Tinkle arrived with additional cloth and a flask of spirits.

Mao took the flask and set up a table with her tools next to Jinshi's prone body. Among them was a slender, sharp lancet.

"Please get me a clean bowl or vessel for liquid. It must be clean."

She frowned, then continued, “Then I’ll need your help. If you’re going to be squeamish about blood, then leave. I won't hold you back. If things go wrong, it will cost us our lives. Decide by the time you get back.”

The girl soon returned with a bowl and handed it to Mao.

“Hold the bowl so it catches any blood,” Mao said. “Be careful not to cast a shadow on the patient. When I ask for a cloth, hand me one. There is an iron in the brazier. If I need it, fetch it instantly.”

#Loosing no time, the woman nodded, moved the candle to better illuminate Jinshi, and picked up the bowl again.

Mao nodded almost imperceptibly in approval. She wouldn't need to worry about her help.

"I'm going to bleed the wound to remove as much poison as possible. That just leaves the tainted blood that has already spread to his body."

The woman nodded again and stood ready.

After washing the area with alcohol, Mao carefully cut two diagonal lines across the wound, ensuring it bled freely.

Mao glanced at her aide once. Satisfied, she looked back at her work. Tinkle held the bowl steady and deftly handed her the cloth when needed.

Mao gently massaged the tissue around the wound.

"Hand me the packets next to the cotton," Mao said. Tinkle held them out to her, the bowl barely trembling.

Mao tore open the packet and began sprinkling its contents onto the wound. The faint smell of #gall scented the air as she did so. "That's to help stop the bleeding."

"Cloth," she ordered.

Again, it was handed to her flawlessly, and she bandaged the wound while applying gentle pressure to the area.

"If you have any gods, pray to them." Not having much faith in gods herself, Mao didn’t follow her own advice. Beyond downcast eyes, it didn't appear that Tinkle did either.

“He should live for a while,” Mao resumed. “Hopefully, that will give us enough time to identify the poison and find an antidote.”

"Oak galls! I'm going to make iron #gall ink!"
"We have ink," his mom said.
He gave her a silent stare.
"Are you going to make paper too?"
"You can do that too?" Ink forgotten, his excitement was palpable.
"Sure. Let me show you. We can find that other stuff later."

"You've got some #gall!" hits different when you overhear two trees talking" remarked Steve as he opened a microbrew IPA. "Mmm, frothy."

#gall #galls

Two galls on the underside of an oak leaf, one large yellow-green, the other much smaller, shrivelled, dark-orange.

These colorful lesions were originally thought to be just fungal infections (Botryosphaeria dothidea) but were eventually found to harbor midge larvae (Asteromyia carbonifera) that farm the fungi for food and use the hardened hyphae to prevent (sometimes) parasitic wasps from ovipositing into the gall. In turn, emerging female flies dutifully transmit spores to new plants each generation. #goldenrod #fly #diptera #fungus #fungi #mutualism #gall #galls #solidago #cecidomyiidae #insects #entomology

Here are the stats for Gall Week 2025: 13,300 observations, 1004 species, and 886 participants. These numbers will climb as people upload their pics and manually add them to the project. #GallWeek2025 #gall #galls #inaturalist #insects #mites #nature https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/gall-week-september-2025

Screen shot of a web page on iNaturalist for the Gall Week September 2025 project, featuring a large photograph of a twig bearing contorted, antler-like galls. Below are listings of the statistics, icons of users who had the most observations and greatest number of observed species. Also a listing of which species was most observed overall (red cone gall wasp).

One thing you learn very quickly when photographing oak galls is that bald-faced hornets are huge gall fans, too. #GallWeek2025 #gall #galls #cynipidae #oaks #nectar #wasps #insects #biology #hymentopera #hornets

Found some banded bullet galls (Kokkocynips imbricariae) yesterday. I also found a dollar near the tree. It was a good day. Media, PA, USA. #GallWeek2025 #gall #galls #wasps #cynipidae #insects #entomology #oaks #quercus
