Is this C. pungens? I have never seen it on the watershed before, but this year it’s cropped up in a couple of places.
Listed as the host for these galls:

Are these young Red Cone Galls, or different?

On a live oak tree. Seemed like a honeydew gall but I’ve never seen one with pink around the base.
