Trying to ID, possibly an Echinocactus spp?

Post by PlantGeek »

Can someone help me id my cactus? It's barrel shaped and about 6 inches tall with fine yellow spines. I thought it might in the Echinocactus genus. At first I thought golden barrel cactus, but it doesn't have a globular shape. Thanks.
