Any cacti experts out there care to ID this: I'm thinking pachanoi, based on keepertrout's info, but I was hoping for a second opinion.

Here's a sad little cast-off that broke off of a larger cactus. Was apparently stuck in a pot, left in a garage with minimal sunlight to see if it would grow. I happened to be talking to this person about psychedelic cacti and they said "Hey, take this one. I thought it was going to die, but it lived through the winter." What the heck says I. I will try to recover him to full health and perhaps he will reward me. What do you guys think? Small, brown spines.

This one above is not a trichocereus and is not active. It looks like a cereus though and definitely in need of TLC! Need to calculate between salts and freebases? Click here! Need to calculate freebase or salt percentage at a given pH? Click here!

I know, even if it isn't active, it has survived and deserves a chance. Poor fella. Thanks Inf. All these posts are on behalf of Stimpy, my yellow bullhead.

Kephra, that does look like a pachanoi to me.

Hi experts ! Need you're opinion on an botanical identification question ... This photo has been taken in southern Colombia. I have not much skill in cacti botanics, but from what I have red I would say the man is belonging to the Echinopsis ( Trichocereus) genus. I that correct ? Now I have no idea of the exact species ... I have seen a lot of pachanoi/peruvianus incertitude on the various forums ... Any help will be greatly appreciated !

So you'd say E. pachanoi ? Great. Anyway from what I've seen there is few chance to get confused with a possible toxic species ... Or is there ? I mean in the way one could get confused between mushrooms species ? Yep this trunk seems quite old ... but this is an adolescent regarding some OLD GIANTS I have seen in the neigbourghood  Next step is to get out at night with my machete ... Thank you.

So, I had a stop by my local nursery and I found some beautiful cactus that I thought I recognized from pictures online. There was no ID available in the store but I took them home and I think I've found some goodies. However I'm not sure I've identified them correctly, maybe some of you experts can help me out?  Trichocereus Peruvianus?  Trichocereus Peruvianus?  Trichocereus Bridgesii?  At first I thought it might be some kind of Trichocereus, but I'm starting to believe it's a Pilosocereus? Any help to ID these would be highly appreciated. Many Thanks! The owls are not what they seem

Never mind the ugly flower Ho** De*** glued on the top... I think this little guy might be a trichocereus. Thoughts?
