 Identification issues

I recently started collecting cacti and succulents and just got a couple new cacti today. As for cacti identification guides, it is extremely difficult to find what I am looking for because I am so new to them and all their significant characteristics. Because of this I would like to post this picture and see if anybody can help me identify these. Thanks!

Hey there, Welcome!  .
It will be easier for us to identify if you can picture each one individually in decent light.
best,

The large one is Opuntia sp. The one in the lower left I believe is Gymnocalicium sp. Above it I'm not sure, my first instinct was Astrophytum, but that is likely wrong. I know I've seen it before but I can't remember the name. The succulent above the Opuntia (right one) looks like a Haworthia sp.
Beautiful cacti btw!

Can I get a second opinion on this one? Someone said stenocereus eichlamii but I feel mine doesnt match any other pictures that I am seeing.

I believe it's something closer to Stenocereus griseus or possibly Stenocereus stellatus.

Thanks man. Does anyone know if any of these cacti contain alkaloids? I wouldnt even want to eat them its just information I would like to know. Also is my opuntia used for nopales or is it an unedible species? Im sorry about all the questions I just want to learn as much as I can.
