I took this at Fort Yargo State Park in Georgia and it is growing next to a stream. I haven't seen this before and don't know where to start to identify it.

Wow, that's really interesting and very pretty! I don't know what it is but I'll move this thread over to the Plant ID Forum where one of our knowledgeable identifiers will likely recognize it!

Could it be a gall of some sort?

I think Porkpal may be onto something. I've never seen a gall so pretty but it may very well be some type of oak gall.

I found this photo at a California Newspaper page showing pretty oak galls that look kinda similar. https://www.pressdemocrat.com/...
