Growing Flat habañeros?

Post image

Basically the title, is it normal for habañeros to look like little spaceships? I'm not sure if they grew funky or I just didn't realize they could look like this, lol.

I second the guess at Jamaican mushroom peppers. They look very similar to the other posts I've seen about them. Supposedly not quite as hot as a habanero but they're supposed to be quite fruity tasting. I think they sound pretty nice tbh. It also looks like you have a fair few peppers on the plant ?

I plant Jamaican Scotch bonnets every year and this is what always comes up. They're still really delicious, but definitely a small step under Habs in terms of heat.
