I have used Eckel's treatment of Calypogeia in BFNA to key this observation. https://www.mobot.org/plantscience/bfna/V3/Calypogeiaceae.htm
I have included microscope pics of underleaves to help confirm or correct my ID.
I've copied a discussion from Eckel's treatment that describes the underleaves.
"The lateral leaves of C. neogaea are longer than broad (narrowly ovate) with a subacute to acute, sometimes bidentate apex, which separates the species from C. muelleriana and C. azurea, which have typically subcordate leaves, wider than long, with a more bluntly if narrowly rounded apex. The underleaves are distinct from all congeners in the underleaf lobes widely and the deepest lobed (midline from base of sinus to rhizoid-initial area in a very short series of 1--2 (--3) cells); they have rounded-acute, divergent lobes with lateral teeth or angulations high on the lateral margins. Examination of the youngest stems may best reveal the characters of C. neogaea.
In C. muelleriana, with which C. neogaea is vexingly confused, the underleaves are only divided 1/3--1/2 their length, with a longer series of (3--)4--6(--7) cells, with their lobes and sinus obtuse-rounded. The underleaves of C. muelleriana are 2.2--2.5(--3) x wider than the stem, showing their mostly entire margins clearly, with strong decurrencies, whereas those of C. neogaea are usually smaller, narrower, usually only 1--1.8 x wider than the stem or sometimes to 2.5 x in robust specimens, but clearly displaying distinctive acute lobes and lateral marginal angulations with decurrencies none or slight. Underleaves of C. muelleriana are suborbicular, but in C. neogaea they are narrow and strongly transverse (wider than long), sometimes reduced to a mere, highly ornate fingernail-shaving."

On planted Corylus americana. The plant had several normal catkins but then these odd ones. Is it some sort of gall?

Not sure if insect or mite or whatnot so I'm starting at Arthropoda...

I went back to this exact same spot to get some galls to cut open and made a sister post to this observation, see here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/157798884

In standing water along boardwalk path in bottomland hardwood forest adjacent to lake.
See fruits in second photo. Not in the genus Ulmus as these fruits are nutlike and globular which instead indicates Planera. Planera aquatica is the only species within this genus in LA. Going by the key to Ulmaceae in the 2022 Flora of LA by Weakley.

Sign of stem mining insect larva on Pennsylvania Blackberry. This looks like a "subcuticular mine" in Eisman and Charney's system (Tracks and Sign, 2010, pp. 406-407). Only this insect genus is discussed, though no examples from Rubus are given, so this is a guess.

This grows on a tree near the woods by my house. It makes multiple things like that. The tree does not flower. The fruits are spongy and smell like apples.
