Amphibolips quercusinanis
These green galls are about 3 cm in diameter with purplish specks. The inside of the gall has an intricate internal structure.
I found this in a mixed deciduous/coniferous forest. It must have fallen from one of the oak trees.
Lifer!

Thank you so much Leuba and Luis! I'd never seen anything like it before!
