Andricus gemmeus f. agamic

The agamic (asexual) galls are rounded, 3 to 4 mm, often in clusters and arising from a dormant bud on the trunk  or twigs of oak trees, often in callus tissue. The surface has rings of come like bumps and may be finely pubescent. It is soft and greenish-yellow at first, later becoming red then brown and woody.

[Note: The sexual galls occur in buds of Turkey Oak, but none have been found in Britain as yet.]
