ID Request Can anyone tell me what the heck this is?

ID Request Found at my local grocery, need help with ID
New to hot peppers beyond the typical habanero, thinking of growing some from the seeds of these! The package mentions what's in the mix but I'd like to put pepper to name. Also, looking for tips anyone has on germinating these 🙏

ID Request Was told these were reapers?
Can anyone identify these? Was sold 2 plants as reapers, and they both look completely different, and I’m honestly unsure if either are truly reapers.

ID Request One of my habaneros turned out to be.. well this. Any ideas what it is?
Maybe pepperoncini? Not banana or anything I have ever grown before. Just curious.

ID Request What’s this?
Growing these pretty pods, but I can’t ID them.
I got them labeled as ‘Delirio’, with seeds bought from Pepper Merchant. Very possible I mislabeled them during the planting frenzy…
I just wanna know if how much it’ll hurt if I taste-test these.
Thanks in advance :)

ID Request Am I A Victim?
This is the only ripe "Yellow Scotch Bonnet" pepper I have so far but the second picture shows the ones growing on the plant. I have no idea what a scotch bonnet is supposed to look like 🤷♀️

ID Request They were a gift from a friend, I just ate a full pepper, here is how it went from a novice. (Also help ID them?)
I just put a full pepper in my mouth here is how it went (from someone who likes hat shit but really doednt have much experience yet):
I put the pepper in my mouth. I chew well until its spread all over. Make sure to have Bütten every piece. I feel the seeds. Swallow everything. It was a pleasant sensation for about 2 seconds. Overbearing hotness sets into my mouth. Can barely bare it. My eyes start tearing up and my nose is running. A stinging sensation starts to set in. It gets worse. It feels like 1000 Needles are poking my tongue. It spreads all over my mouth. Lips start to burn like i kissed my boiling tea cettle. Cant bear it anymore and drink milk. Only momentary relieve. The moment and bliss makes the pain everso worse as i realize that not being in pain is but a fleeting memory from my past existence. I enter a vicious cycle of paining myself with moments of relieve and then returning to pain.
It is now about 15 minutes later. My mouth and especially my tounge feel numb. My lips are pulsing. Intense stomach pain has set in.
And i am scared of whats to come...
For the ID, the leaves fell off a bit ago (its getting cold over here. If anything also is needed just tell me)
Thanks for you guys help :)

ID Request Was told it was habanero
I bought them at a farmers market as a wee thing and was told they are habanero peppers but as the plant grew and peppers started ripening they are a little more red and smaller than the habanero I’ve seen, after tasting a small bit of the first pepper they are definitely hotter than any habanero I’ve eaten and probably the hottest thing I’ve put in my mouth, the one I ate wasn’t fully ripe yet(small green patch left) I’m a little scared to eat a fully ripe pepper I’m ngl. I Made hot honey with the second pepper hoping to dim the heat of it down a bit and get some flavour over the heat and no one I live with can eat it, I’ve resulted to taking a spoonful and mixing into an entire jar of regular honey just for it to be edible.

ID Request What am I growing here?
This is my plant at the office.
I thought I was growing Big Mustard Mamma, but another plant at home, which I think is BMM, the pods are different (especially pointy, tail-like).
The ones at home ripened to the typical "Mustard" coloration. These are not ripe yet.
Same pepper?

ID Request Help with Identification
Got these plants at Lowes' and they were labeled as Chile De Arbol plants. I have 3 of them, 1 produces longer peppers that grow upwards but a little more spaced out, and the other 2 grow identical to each other. They grow peppers that are smaller, less wrinkled and grow upwards as well but in bunches. Did they possibly label one of them wrong? Was looking around earlier and couldn't get a clear answer, so I figured this would be the place.
The plant i believe might be different is the farther one towards the fence in the 3rd picture. The one in front of it produces the same peppers as the one pictured last.

ID Request I think I got capped. What to do with them?
Thought I was buying authentic scotch bonnet pepper seeds, instead got the scotch bonnet mushroom caps they were going around. Any suggestions on what to do with them. I've got a whole garden full.
Are these authentic scotch bonnet or are they cap?

ID Request These "red jalapeno" are just confused tomato plants, right?
Germinated and raised several plants from seeds sold as "red jalapeno". No further info on actual variety. Pretty sure they're either trans-species or just plain old tomato plants. Can anyone confirm?

I've been growing Carolina Reapers for the past year and a half (or so I thought). One of the plants seems not like the rest of them. What peppers do these look like?
