Getting back to the post about pumpkins and squash cross pollinating, they dont, altho will in their own family.
Confusion comes in when squashes cross pollinate with so called pumpkins like butternuts, but they are really squash. Some like the Hubbard actually look and taste like a real pumpkin but arent, they are squash.
I've had butternut and zuccinis cross pollinate...looked wierd and tasted crap.
