After seeing countless posts about pepper seeds being mislabeled I am concerned these are not actually ghost peppers. They are still very much green but don't look like a lot of the photos ive seen online.
Thoughts? Are these ghost peppers?

Sorry friend, not a ghost. Hope whatever they are taste good for ya
Look a lot like shishitos
Edit: I think anaheim makes more sense, but its a close race.
I think they’re shishitos as well, check [these recipes](https://youtu.be/9Ic5eIKMbRA?si=UgzZYuHPVLID0NrC) though, they’re delicious!

yep but on the plus side it isn’t the mushroom pepper everyone has been getting
Duped as duped could be
Definitely shishitos
Yes. You were
You tell me.

I just tasted one, and it already seems spicier than my more mature jalapeno, which makes me think it’s not Anaheim. Hmmm they sure look like Anaheim.
Yes
Sadly yes. This is what a ghost looks like (unripe)

Unfortunately those aren’t ghost. They kind of look like shishito but then again not. You might be a victim of a cross pollination between a ghost pepper and a shishito pepper. Not all is lost though, try them….. you might like them. I have a small garden and grow several varieties of peppers. I saved seeds one year for the next season and ended up with some very interesting peppers. Some I liked and some not so much. Good luck
