Overview
Yellow Mushroom is a habanero relative with squat, wrinkled, mushroom-shaped yellow pods about 2 inches across and thin skin. Heat is high, as expected of the family. It needs a long warm season, around 85 days from transplant, so start seed early with bottom heat. The flat shape and thin walls dry well, and the fruity heat suits Caribbean sauces and marinades.
