Was out hiking and came across these strange berry looking things growing on the leaves of these plants. Anyone know what they are?

I don't know what those are, but they sure look tasty.
Btw which plant identification app does /out/ use?

Google. But seriously, does such a thing exist? I was just out hiking yesterday and I came across a few plants that I couldn't identify (ended up figuring it out via google). That'd be great if you could feed a picture/info into an app and get back some potential candidates.

They are so strange, they aren't growing out of a stem, but from the surface of the leaves.

They are probably some type of gall wasp

Would there be thousands of them in just one area?

Definitely some sort of parasitic organism. Could be an insect, a virus, a fungus, lots of possibilities.

Fun fact. If you wait til they brown up and pick them you 'might' be able to turn them into ink. Iron galls are what they used in medieval times to make quill ink.

Huh, that's really cool. Does it matter what plant the galls are from?

Those are not berries. They are nearly hollow with some weird stuff on the inside that kind of resembles a sponge made out of thread. There's no liquid inside. They're growing on oak tree saplings somewhere in the south east. Looks like Florida.

These ones should work. Oak gall or iron gall is what was used. I don't know if there's specific types that work better. But they all turn into these little papery brown husks when they dry that's just absolutely loaded to the gills with tannin, the stuff that makes black tea so dark, that's the source of the ink coloring.
