When fully grown, the red cap mushroom plant can reach up to around 1m tall. It produces chillies which are golf ball sized and resemble a mushroom hanging upside-down from the plant. Pods will turn red when mature. It gets really bushy and wide as well and lots and lots of fruit… and you should be able to get between 4 to 5 KG per plant of fresh fruit during the chilli season which lasts approximate 4 to 6 months.
