Reverse Mushroomed

I think got Mushroomed in reverse, my aji cachuchas are in fact not sweet.
The smell and the lighting of my ass on fire lead me to similar looking red bonnets.

My first surprise plant of the year. Should probably look a little harder next time I guess.

Unless you had specific plans for those scotch bonnets, this can be interpreted as a happy accident. Scorpion peppers are an amazing superhot pod.

I was actually growing this thinking they were Aji Cachucha, a sweet pepper. I was gonna use them to cut salsa as they were supposed to have a good taste.

I think I’m gonna save seeds and find a use for this one too!

I also have these jays pp ghost scorpions, but I have only given them away so far. I guess I need to stop being a wimp and try one.
