I got this yesterday and think it it bridgesii but now I'm not sure?????
It also has a strange growth on part of it and I was hoping some
one could tell me how to deal with it.
Blue Myrtel cactus or Myrtillocactus geometrizans, not bridgesii.

Not peruvianus. Peruvianus has creame colored areoles fading to a tan. It has Reddish spines when new to fading to a amber/tan with age.
What you have there is Trichocereus cuzcoensis

here is a pic of my macrogonus tell me if this looks like what you have

or



Those are all trichocereus macrogonus, all the same plant actually.
Looking at my pics I have, It could be neither torch nor cuz thats its infact a hybrid of them both but, I am pretty certain its a cuz. The white areoles are a dead give away. Torchs areoles are real cream color and fading to a tannish with age. Before I say for certain what it is will you please provide unclose pics, like the ones I posted above. Full plant pic, top pic, upclose pic of areoles (new and aged as they change in color with age)?

Hey, these are two pics of a cacti a friend of mine gave me recently. He said "This is definitely San Pedro" and I'd just like an official identification. Awesome thread, by the way!

That Diffently isn't a pedro or and trich for that matter, It looks like cerues peruvianus or the queen of the night.

Thanks man. I did a few quick searches and it certainly looks similar. Although, all the pictures I found, the areolae are a much lighter colour than the ones in the picture. Is there any explanation for that?

no, not Pilosocereus, its really a tricho.Hi! It's a Pilosocereus azureus, for sure.
the hair you are seeing on one areole might be spider web, but apart from that it has not the P. azureus look
