Please look at these pictures and tell me what kind of squash is
this? It is a volunteer.

REALLY good. I'll have some of that!"

Looks to be a cushaw or green-striped pumpkin. Get rather large and have
orange or yellowish-green meat?

Hard to tell without a better look at the stem and blossom end.

I think it might be some sort of Cucurbita maxima squash. If so,
its stem would look more rounded and not so obviously five-sided.
The blossom end might have a bit of a 'button' on it.

C. maxima squashes include hubbard, buttercup, turk's turban
and kabocha types as well as some varieties that are marketed
as 'pumpkins' (including 'white' pumpkins and the Aussie 'blue'
pumpkins).

Cushaws, which the other poster mentioned, have a stem end
with five sides and very often the fruit is 'necked' like a butternut.
They generally have a flat, smooth blossom end scar.

If it is a volunteer, what squashes did you plant in that area last
year? We have had some very interesting squash from the ones that got
tossed in previous years.

Has anyone considered that the squash leaves appear very like it could be a
melon? Birds are great for planting volunteers.
