#1 maybe M. mammillaris
#2 I have no idea. I'm not even sure it's a Mammillaria...
#3 and #5 look like M. mystax
#4 maybe Parodia penicillata or some other proper Parodia.

#1 mammillaris, again maybe
#2 might be a Coryphantha
#3 and #5 are the same, but not sure they are mystax.
#4 is an Eriosyce, I'd suggest,

Hello Mike,

1 is pretty sure Mam. mammillaris
2 Mammillaria eriacantha?
3 & 5 Mam. mystax var. casoi?

#4 is definitely an Eriosyce of the Neoporteria clan ( thus not a Mammillaria). The identification of these is a whole new ball game but it looks like one of the types with a narrow flower tube. Nidus/Senilis, Multicolor, Subgibbosa etc
I agree with mystax, and the first to me looks like mammilaris ( watch for quite insignificant cream/beige flowers)
The other one # 2 looks familiar but I cant nail it down, might be a coryphantha ? Edit: bail me out maybe not a cory on second look ... like to see a flower.
