I've proposed to move this over to the Plant ID forum where some of our super duper plant identifiers will see it. It sure looks like an edible squash to me The Gourds, Squashes and Pumpkins Database but I don't know which one. I'm sure someone will be along though before long to give you an exact ID.

If it's a volunteer and you are any of your neighbors grew squash, pumpkins, gourds... it is a hybrid of some kind. Hard to say if it's edible - you will have to try it.

We call it skunk cabbage in Washington State. It grows around still water. I am not sure if the flower actually stinks, it the murky water makes us think it stinks. They are lovely.

Maybe Laurie wandered into the wrong thread. Definitely not Skunk Cabbage.
