How fun! I often find things that are some sort of tree disease or galls or lichen etc. and never get them identified. I just found the Ohio Moss and Lichen Association which has been helpful. @megachile helps with the galls. Unfortunately, I'll have to send you my best guesses. I basically wander through our woods for hours a day looking for interesting things and looking for signs of balance. I'm happy to help others with their research or passion while I learn. But to tell you how much I know about galls, I thought they were a sign of ill health to maybe a neutral abberation. Do you have an internet or book reference I could use to see what I'm looking for? I have most of the flora on your list.

a good place to start is Adam(@ megachile) and Jeff's (@ jeffdc) new site www.gallformers.org search by host and you will get a huge list of all the galls associated with a plant, it is not complete yet, but has a lot of information, especially on the more common species. Unfortunatly there is not a good book that covers everything in E North America but the resources in my Profile are a good place to start, if you are curious. Particularly Welds book on the gall wasps, available online here; https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/273718#page/7/mode/1up and Felts galls and gallmakers , Available here; https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Subir_Bandyopadhyay3/post/Plant_gall_nomenclature/attachment/5ab497174cde266d58933fdc/AS%3A607222774128640%401521784599176/download/BPT9871.pdf
