ID help needed

Post by Glorioustache »

Hello everyone. I acquired some new cacti for my collection and I have been having difficulties properly identifying them. Any guesses are welcome and greatly appreciated.

Top one could be an Echinocereus and the bottom one a Mammillaria.

Thanks for the input guys! The first two also look like Pilosocereus to me Aeonium2003 bit still unsure about the species. I believe the 2nd one is more than likely P. chrysacanthus. As for the Mammillaria do you think it could be a form of M. nunezii DaveW?
