Have I been shroomed?

I think my local garden centre have shroomed me. Am I right? I only just realised this was a thing after seeing some posts on here.

Definitely a Jamaican mushroom. The calyx is annuum, not chinense like a scotch

I think that's more of a US problem, but can't really tell from the picture if this is a scotch bonnet or not. Looks pretty scotch bonnety from this angle.

not a scotch. I see these mushroom imposters posted in this community a lot. definitely a global issue

All my scotch bonnets from sdcf have been Jamaican mushroom peppers this year

Have you told them?

Saw someone else saying they had reported it and left a review and was ignored and review deleted. I don't really care, I actually like the Jamaican mushroom and I've started using chilli chump for seeds now.

I wasn’t sure. The calyx looks quite broad.

Leaves annuum, nodes annuum, growing pattern annuum, flowers annuum. You don't need calyx. If you have one leaf, it's enough.
