Is this discolored spot squishy?

It’s reaching for more light. I still haven’t figured out this species’ needs, but I keep mine in a sunny window.

ps not to be that guy, but your species is this. Check out llifle dot com for better advice than I can give.

Yes it was squishy

My Un Picos have never looked great, but haven’t done this. I’ve decided they like being difficult!

I have only had these for a few months, and they look exactly the same lol.

Ha, not bad though! Mine weren’t looking too terrible earlier this year but then I let the sun do a number on them. I have them in more shade now 😣

My other one had bugs, spent the summer outside, and ended up in the plant graveyard.

Oh no! I’ll probably end up bringing my guys in soon. I brought 20 other cactus in for the winter, not sure why I left them still!

Update yall! It’s collapsed in on itself, turned black, and became super squishy. It also had a bit of water or something inside.
