Jebus, they musta had some monsters growing in there.
It looks like a Cereus monstrose - inactive but still good for grafting etc..

OK here we go. I went back and got another load of cacti. Took me about 3 days to get everything cleaned up and sorted out. here's some pics
 
A colony of fuzzy things
one of the nastier cuts.
sunburn
 
a couple interesting specimens
  
  
Flowers!
  
The longest surviving cuttings. the floor tiles are 12"
The debris pile left after cutting/cleaning
 
 
The grand total.
My garden will be splendiferous. Would these guys be a good grafting stock? I was thinking of attaching pachanoi tips to some of them.
