What is this?

It appeared in an area of the garden where some spaghetti squash plants were growing on a trellis. All the other squashes in this area looked like one of the type types in the foreground here:

Nearby on the same trellis were some cucumber plants. At the beginning of the season I was worried that different types of squash plants might cross but when I looked this up I read that any crosses would only affect the seeds and not the fruit. But perhaps this is not accurate. Or maybe it's accurate for two squash varieties, but perhaps cucumber can sometimes cross with squash and affect the fruit.

I have some other types of squash and zucchini plants elsewhere in the garden.

Does anyone have any info on this?

I have read that some corcubits do cross pollinate and affect the fruit. I have also read that it only impacts the seeds. I truly don’t know the truth.

I usually try to segregate them.

Here’s something weird: My daughter planted some almond trees a few years back. Three years ago, she got her first batch of almonds. The next year and this year, she got peaches.

Was this new certified seed or seed that you saved last year?
