Peyote Turning Black

I am quite positive my peyote has a bacterial infection. It is in a pot with 2 other Peyotes, and half of it has turned brownish black. The skin is starting to sag off.
Can it be saved? What should I do?
All of my peyote got sunburned from too much sun exposure, so I brought them inside, and this is what happened. >.<

Actually, it's just one side of it. I'm considering cutting off the rotted part. It's really sad, because it's about 4-5 years old, and a really nice cactus 
I also thought it might be a good idea to pull it out of the dirt and let it dry for a week or two...

tick tock. Time is of the essence. I recently lost a ten year specimen to rot. Cut that baby already or lose it all.

Damn, I'm really sorry man, that's very sad. I'm trying to decide how to cut it. If I should cut it off to the root, or if I should just cut off the infected part.

Usually, one cuts away any rotting flesh, until you see nice clean green, then encourage a good callous to form. If you have to take away so much flesh as to no longer leave the growing point, what remains could then yet re-pup.

Thank you. I am curious though. I have pulled it out of the soil, and it is sitting on a shelf to dry. Is there any way it could survive without cutting it? It's not like dark black, it's more like brown, but the skin is starting to sag. (It is rot, no question)
The rot has not made it to the center, it's more around the outter edge of roughly 1/3 of the cactus.

Your cactus will die if you do not cut the rot away. Do as you will, waiting that extra day probably doomed it anyway.

I rubbed it in some mycorrhizal innoculant powder. It's a combo of several species of trichoderma and mycorrhizal bacteria. I'm hoping they fend off the bacterial infection, but if it worsens, I'll go to work. I'm doing this for SCIENCE!

I should have taken a pic before I rolled it in mycorrhizal powder. Now it just looks black all over. I could rinse it off though, but I'm worried about adding moisture.
I'm curious, has anyone ever seen a peyote recover from rot?

I think I did wait too long... It's in sad shape

if you menaged to save it with that mycorrhizal powder, that would have been an unexpected and intresting happening. Sometimes in desperate cases people go for the areole graft, but that happens mainly when you need to save some important genetics or something. I don't think this is the case.
Anyhow, at this point, if you think it's gone, just try, you have nothing to lose. Cut like a deranged surgeon, and see if you can get a piece of loph with roots and no rot tissue.

the one I lost lives on as 5 other cacti. I was able to save some of the rooted portions by cutting them quickly. Also, I grafted some of the smaller heads that were further from the rot. Unfortunately the rot killed the largest head. So yea, I have ten year old genetics, but they are all the size of one year seedlings.

I have only just started growing cacti, so I am not familiar with grafting and all of that 
I am kindof scared to graft it to a trichocereus and harm that cacti too!
I have a flowhood though, so sterility is at least achievable.

I graft to blue myrtles and pereskiopsis currently. I am working on getting adequate trich stocks.

I actually should have a Pereskiopsis next week! Though I think it was recently cut, and it may need time to recover >.<

Plant it as soon as you get it. It will root with an open cut and in moist soil. Pereskiopsis is the exception.

 It won't need too much recovery time. Plant that sucker and it'll be rooted and growing before you know it!
