Please be advised "yellow mushroom peppers" come in two species, C. annuum (
Jamaican Yellow Mushroom) and C. chinense (
Jamaican Yellow Mushroom Pepper). How many fruit per node is this plant exibitng?
I followed the links you supplied. I wonder if these two vendors are really talking about the same pepper, only one calls it an Annuum, and the other calls it a Chinense. It looks like they both just cut-and-pasted the same description with some minor variations.
I've seen other THP members speculate and debate about whether the Jamaican Yellow Mushroom is a Annuum or a Chinense.
Are multiple peppers per node a definitive characteristic of a Chinense?
I've seen some people say they look at the Calyx to identify the pepper, but I'm not sure what differences they are looking for.
Other people draw conclusions by looking at the shape of the flower.
I've been growing Jamaican Yellow Mushrooms for a few years now from seeds that came from Jamaican Yellow Mushroom peppers bought at a farmers market. I was thinking it was a Chinense, based on the similarity to photos provided by Jamaican Yellow Mushroom seed vendors on the Internet.
I suppose it really doesn't matter too much whether it's a Chinense or an Annuum. It grows well in my climate, and I like the flavor. That's what really matters.
