My banana peppers i have 2 in the back yard one on the side yard and one way at work and they all have produced pods with like a light brown skin patch where it is kinda hard flesh  not rotten but

this is the only one with leaves like this but its the front pod im looking at back one is bright green fromt one looks like a wine cork i pulled it off
 

th
ought it was something i did but the one at work is in diffrent soil no fertilizers and different time of day sun  but it had one like this too
 just a  hard spot doesn't get soft or mushy
 
what causes this light brown skin on my peppers they are producing more pods like this too    i need to stop it my top plant pictured has about 17 banana pepeprs on it and about 4  5 are getting the funky hard dry skin

plus the leaves look bad 
 
There is something very wong going on with that plant... you have some sort of defficiency or possibly even a nutrient over-does/toxicity.... im not sure what though.
 
yea all the little new growth is like stunted they are all tiny little leaves n just stay small then the big ones are REAL dark green  and a few are Wrinkled/curled like crazy   but still each has about 15 -20 good pods
 
Could be a virus, possibly Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus. Or damage from thrips (thrips are a transmission vector for TSWV so it could be some of both). Or a severe calcium deficiency, but if the soil is the same you would be seeing it on every plant. If it is a virus, I have become a firm believer in culling diseased plants to prevent spread to the rest of the crop.

Pull it out, throw it away (do not compost), wash your hands before touching any other plants.
 
its still solid dark green and poppin out banana peppers and growing the current ones just a few curved shriveled  leaves guess it was just a hiccup  now some of the brown skin is like flaking off kinda reminds me of a peanut skin  just flakes away when you rub it the peper looks fine under neither
