Thanks. You're right, they do have a similar shape.
I know it is not the same but look what I found http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/695...
I am not planning to try them but still interesting)))
I guess that's a possibility. To me they looked too perfect to be galls. Also the small indentation in them makes me think they are a fruit.
dandoucette, are these fruits ? Could they possibly Galls?
Yes, I believe they are the fruits. As for eating them to survive, I'm not sure about that. Not all fruits are edible. It would have to be a pretty rough situation to experiment with eating unknown fruits.
are they actually fruits? can you eat them? and survive..
