Cactus ID request

Question

Hi all, this is my first time posting here and I was hoping you could help me identify this cactus which I believe to be Macrogonus?

The first two pictures are from the same section and the third picture is from another section from the same plant.

Also the fruit in the third picture looks like it is full of seeds and since I have no experience in collecting the seeds my plan is to just let the fruit dry out and then collect/plant the seeds. Feel free to let me know if there is anything else to do when collecting the seeds.

Thanks

Hi Chowda, I dont really recognize Trichocreus Macrogonus as a valid species but this is the type that was sold from Knize as Trichocereus Glaucus KK336. Well yeah, the name is a nomen nudum and this plant would simply called Peruvianus today. But this is probably originally from Knize as KK336 and some people sell this type as Tr. Peruvianus or Trichocereus Glaucus. It´s a very interesting Tricho and one of my favorites.

Looks right, but might be a hybrid of path and Peru or even be a pach selection.

Nice plant.
