I was thinking acorn but they are bigger than all the ones I’m seeing in pictures.There a gourd in with them that’s pretty cool.

Acorn or acorn type. Squash very easily cross pollinated within type and can be highly variable if crossed.
For instance yellow, pattypan, zucchini, acorn, field pumpkin are all C.pepo and freely cross. Interesting I guess we cook some up and see if it’s a winner.Thanks,warrior.

A friend of mine, Dennis, saved seeds from some acorn and butternut squash, zucchini, gourds and pumpkins that he grew one year and planted them the next. He got some pretty incredible looking fruit in a variety of colors, textures and sizes. The coolest looking ones looked like small, but proportionately tall orange pumpkins with thin fin like flanges, where the sections came together that stood out about 3 inches, from a 4 inch round fruit. The flanges were wide at the base and narrowed as they went up.

No they are filling in a area behind my property and pumpkins,gourds and squash are growing wild so I helped myself to a wheel barrel full. They have cross pollinated.
