C biretta
I would guess these are C biretta based on the small conical bit in the middle. C inflata is also possible; seeing the internal structure would have confirmed.

Moved from Unidentified Galls.
Thanks for checking. They may not be fully formed. If you find some like this again, keep an eye on them and see what happens.

Host plant
Any chance this was really a white oak leaf? There are no known galls like this on hickory, but some identical ones on white oak.

Hickory leaf
Definitely Hickory. I just checked my photos and I have a photo of the entire leaf.
