It's something that happens sometimes during pollination in humid conditions. Not a disease, just cosmetic.

Well now, that is very cool! Thanks for sharing! This was the second fruit set on this plant, and the conditions were definitely cool. The first fruit to set, that 2+ lb monster next to this one, thank goodness does not have zippers all over it. I can't wait to share ripe pictures of THAT one!
