Hey, can anyone identify this? I think it's some sort of gall, and i think it's on an alder. It's heavy, about the size of my fist, and on the ends of branches or at joins, and there are several on one tree and more in a nearby tree. Any thoughts?

@Lionesslady This gall is caused by a fungus, Exobasidium sp. The host is azalea or blueberry.
