Re: Fruit question about Mammillaria andersoniana
Ortegocactus has similar fruit, although fewer spines. Easy enough to get the seed out with patience if you don't mind losing the odd one.

Re: Fruit question about Mammillaria andersoniana
The other Mammillarias with cryptic fruit tend to have poor germination. Not sure if they just take an age to ripen properly, are designed for staggered germination, or do best after being eaten or sitting inside a rotting plant for a while.
On the other hand, when I sowed commercial M. andersoniana seed, it germinated well. Probably not straight off the plant though.

Re: Fruit question about Mammillaria andersoniana
Even 25% is good enough when you have plenty of your own seed. Would be disappointing from a packet of 5 seeds!
