I'm like you, I want to know things.  I want to know every plant, tree, 
insect, gall, whatever, that is part of my world here.  Even with the 
internet and Google, I haven't been able to find a picture of my gall. 
That is indicative of some serious biodiversity.  I may be looking at 
some indigenous localized wasp species or maybe there is something 
unique about my soil that causes the tree to make a different kind of 
gall.  I cut it open, and inside I can see pulpy striations like the 
striations you see on a larger scale in the apple oak gall.
Anyway, you never know when or how such knowledge might be useful.
