Saw this growing on some wild rose this morning....Now I have seen someone post this before, but I can't remember what it is, can anyone remember, or even where it was posted on here...Is it a gall or a fungi..?

It's known as Robin's Pin Cushion. It's a gall caused by the Diplolepis rosae wasp. I was showing some to my four year old earlier this afternoon.
