Espostoa melanosteleThis hairy cactus has developed a strange shape that makes it look somewhat like a mushroom. It is growing under the canopy of a Mesquite tree, and I think it may have etiolated because of the shade. However, it has plenty of 'hair', which usually thickens to protect the cactus from strong sunlight.

It looks soft and cuddly until one sees those spines below. Is this like an Old Man's Cactus?
