Rootstock question from annoying newbie

I was wondering what kind of rootstock this is. I've searched and looked at pictures but haven't really found anything that looks quite like it but it's probably just my inexperience with cactus/succulent identification. I'd like to degraft and root when it's warm enough to, if it survives winter with me...

Looks like hylocereus.

OK, I can see that. I'm just not sure enough to identify myself. Mushrooms are one thing but cacti are a completely new hobby for me. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

When I pulled it out of the dirt I was very confused at what I was looking at.

I think the stock is selenicereus maybe? I bet having the Astro prevents the pups from enveloping the root stock

You can't really tell from the previous picture I posted but the rootstock was starting to rot

I did. For some reason half of my post didn't go through. I used a sterile scalpel and have them drying out now. Then if I understand correctly I'll put them on dry substrate and hope for the best.
