Gall on Staghorn Sumac

I found a Staghorn Sumac this fall with a number of these galls on it. When I broke open one of these galls it released a cloud of dust. For a moment I thought the gall was a puffball fungi, but a closer look revealed a hundred or more white insect larvae. Maybe the work of a wasp species?
