holy mother of mutant peppers

Not sure whats going on with these pods but they are strange. I've never had peppers do this before.....three or four different plants have this it seems to be limited to my long slim reds and florescent purple. ANy ideas whats causing this?

I've got a few plants doing the same. Certain plants are probably more succeptible to stress induced mutations but they usually grow normal once the plants become stronger and healthier
 
It's some type of very tiny organism, forget which, screwing with the flower during pollination and pod formation that causes that.
