Mushroom Red Cap Pepper Seeds

A relative to the Habanero pepper, this heirloom chili pepper known as the Mushroom Red Cap is a fast-maturing hot pepper that has a nice aroma and grows into a unique mushroom shape, hence its name.

Red Mushroom pepper plants are compact and grow about 2-3 ft. tall in your garden or container. The fruits grow to about the size of a golf ball, or 2-3" in size, and form into its mushroom shape with nice, shiny, smooth skin. Some have described the weird shape as similar to a patty pan, so it's sometimes referred to as a Squash Pepper. These peppers ripen from green to red when they are ready to be picked.

The fruity and spicy flavors of the Mushroom Red Cap pepper make it great for garnishes, pickling, or drying - in fact, the thin skin of these peppers makes them great for a spicy pepper powder!
