False peyote (Lophophora diffusa) is a rare succulent that thrives in a tiny region of desert in Mexico. This cactus produces fuzzy-looking tufts instead of spines. It is over-collected because it is easily confused with its cousin, Peyote, however the false peyote has no effect on humans.
Peyote is a thornless cactus with a smooth, flat, spherical body. When young, many fuzzy spots are evenly distributed on the sphere. As the sphere grows, the spots increase in size and develop cute golden-yellow or dark brown tomenta. Its flowers are funnel-shaped, pale pink to fuchsia in color, and bloom from the top of the plant.
