        I think the ID seems good...it's on the underside of ash, on the midrib. Very Dasineura-ish. Posted 5 years ago

          i can't find any photos quite like yours though. I wonder if the bottom gall is from a different species of Dasineura? Or else, just odd-lloking/older/mushy. Posted 5 years ago

            The bottom one was older from what I could tell. Posted 5 years ago
