That's an impressive list, can't match it
Odd looking flower on a Capsicum Annuum. Is it just a coincident that the leaf next to it is a bit odd aswell?

That OP is so boss!!

Why is your S. antho temporarily turning into a S. grandiflorus or something.. odd! Is anthonyanus a product of a mutation causing the zigzags which reverted here? And the mutant became its own separate species?
did the possibly monstrose pachs come from a monstrose parent?
Mic, that dichotomous loph is pretty cool and I've not heard of that variety before. This might sound crazy but if it were me I might consider intentionally etiolating it in some way for a little while and getting creative, if the alternative is that it becomes a double button which may not be very distinguishable from a 'regular' double button loph which just pupped from an areole when young, the normal way. If you can get those double buttons elongated and telescopic first (with limits) you may be able to emphasize the dichotomy better. If you don't go crazy with the elongation shouldn't it eventually grow more normal looking? seems ideal.
I wonder if that is considered blasphemy lol
I might add that I have a double grafted LW caesp on S. grandiflorus so also in a Y shape I guess, and I put some rubber bands over it while I still can. That way I can use them to tie them together when they get kind of heavy, to avoid the branches from breaking off. The flaw in this plan is that I fear the rubber bands will go brittle long before then so I should probably protect them from that. It seems like a cool idea to use suspenders to keep loph clusters just above the ground, if you use a strong material possibly the loph could envelop that material giving structural reinforcement.
All of that may be something of a neo-bonsai approach if you get what i mean, after all this is the mutant thread right get your freak on

I have no idea why the seleni did that, it actually grew like this on a few branches but they all reverted back to normal growth. I don't think it's a man made species, this shape is also present in Epiphyllum anguliger, which I mistook it for at first.
The pach seedlings are from generic seeds from a well-known german loph nursery wink wink. Could be they were attacked by bugs causing them to pup at such an early stage though, time will tell.
Added another mutant cannabis leaf pic I dug up from a while back.

I know there's some other people here with beautiful mutants and variegations, don't be shy 
I know bug damage to the apical meristem or damaging it yourself can lead to crests and maybe other mutations but nobody really seems to have a good strategy for it. There must be a way to get the right kind of damage like maybe applying a caustic compound to the apex of a certain concentration...
If I had plenty of cacti to experiment I would try that and titrate.

Peruvianus monstrous

Crested pachanoi

I would really really love some mutant Lophos

T.Pachanoi crested
  
Maybe crest forming on Mammillaria Spinosissima cv. Un Pico

T.Brigdesii Crested Monstrose TBCM
 
Have another T Pachanoi crested but no pics of it right now. Freaks and mutants are way cool. Im going to collect all i can get my hands on but just got started so collection isnt much yet.

Really sweet Pach crest, cptShadow! I imagine that peruvian one impales itself a lot with those spines? Do you clip it? 
Wow at that TBCM! So random... much melty
Loph mutants are much more uncommon than trich ones?
(By the way are you sure it's not spelled "T. Chickendancyi" ^^ ? )

@Solipsis Yes, it's a wily one, I should clip a bit, waiting until it gets a bit warmer to transplant.
@Mateo That is a most awesome TBCM.

Here is my other T.Pachanoi crest. Don´t seem like the previous owner took so good care of it but it will grow into a fine specimen.

And another T.Bridgesii Monstrose TBM. The pup don´t seem so monstrose, i hope it comes when it grows.
 I wonder what all this small scarspots is about?
And here is a small TBM that didn´t take shipping so well.
 I don´t know if i should cut off the top that doesn´t look so good, what you do?
 Some of my mutant plants
I cut off some small pieces from my TBCM and now i try root them and get em to grow.
 Had another one but sent it to Micaele

The pups do emerge looking like a regular but soon stop producing areoles and spines.

Those are some beauties you guys 
MH, you say you got that one TBM from seed? That's crazy I was sure TBM was a one time occurence that someone saved and propagated, I had no idea it was a "common" mutation in bridgesii. What genetics were the seeds?
And damn yeah those spines aren't joking around, looks really nice.
edit: about the scarspots on TBM, it's probably that the original pups that gave your plant were being stabbed by other pups, happens a lot because of the randomness of how it grows.

It was from a respected UK nursery so I am inclined to trust their word on it. Was rather small when I got it some 6 years ago, a few segments of around 1" each and darker skinny spines as seen with trich seedlings and no noticable signs of it being a rooted piece. Seems a slower grower than my others, still gaining momentum. With there being a few different forms of TBM going around it has happened more than once but still extremely rare.

Yeah good point about there being at least the clumping form and the long form. I wonder what makes bridgesii mutants so different from other mutant trichos.
An Australian mate posted this pic of a Brugmansia putting out a flower within a flower:

Isn´t that doubble flower a quite common occurence in flowers? Look at the poppies, there is many doubble flower varietys. Maybe it´s type dependant and more common in some plants.
Looks very beautiful though, doubble the prettyness.
