Strongly spined -- Coleocephaloereus or Melocactus;

small plant 3 inch pot evidence of two previous flowers -- it is Coryphantha, maybe C. pycnacantha.

If your cacti mess in your job just forget about the job.
°C = (°F - 32)/1.8

photos 1 & 2 look very much like ones I grew from mislabelled seed. They were later ID'ed as Pilocereus Gounellei. Readily rot and spines easily break.

The first one looks like a Pilosocereus, probably P. calcisaxicolus although P. gounellei is another possibility.

The next looks like Pilosocereus leucocephalus

The third looks like a Melocactus or Coleocephalocereus

The last is a Coryphantha, but I'm not sure which one.
