I have always been interested in plant galls and wrote about the cedar apple rust gall in this blog in 2010. Checking our the cedar tree by our garage I found this years crop of galls and picked a few. It had been dry for weeks and yesterday's rain hadn't changed the galls. I picked a few and photographed them before and after a 30 minute soak in a pan of water rejuvenated the fungus which literally said....."Thanks, I needed that!"
Here is the before and after their little dip in the water.
