the hairs within the gall are thick and blunt; the shrivel quickly and turn brown then

Prunus spinosa.
According to Ripka (2007a) also P. fruticosa and mahaleb.
synonyms
Eriophyes, Phytoptus, similis prunispinosae.

Redfern & Shirley (2011a) consider this species a synonym of Eriophyes similis; indeed both galls appear quite similar. However, the Fauna Europaea (2014) treats the two as separate species.
