Good Afternoon all,
As I have recently re-started collecting cacti and succulents, I have quite a few that are nameless. Any help would be very much appreciated. I will add two at a time
thanks
Ellie
Can anyone help with quite a few ID's?

I'd suggest Mammillaria schiedeana ssp scheideana and Gymnocalycium buenekeri.

Thank you so much Christer. I've just looked at some internet pictures of it. Now I am extremely excited for the flowers to bloom.

Stenocereus pruinosus.
Is that last one an unusually tall Sulcorebutia?
Then there is a Mammillaria karwinskiana ssp nejapensis, with Mammillaria elongata photobombing.

Re: Can anyone help with quite a few ID's?
I suppose the columnar bluish one could be a short spined Stenocereus pruinosus as iann suggests, but to me it looks more like Myrtillocactus geometrizans. No idea what the plant in the background is though.
Edit: on that photo, the one in the background to the left that you only just see is another photobombing (brown-spined) Mammillaria elongata.
The small one you've had for three years is a little bit difficult to judge, but I think it could possibly be a Rebutia/Aylostera heliosa or Lobivia famatinensis. It's etiolated a bit so it's difficult to say. It should be of flowering age so you'll likely be able to tell what it is once it flowers.

Myrtillocactus geometrizans makes more sense.

Yep, it's definitely M. geometrizans, I think that white powder is actually blue!
