I have been growing butternut pumpkin and trombone zucchini in close proximity and saving seed for following season. I saved seed from each for this seasons planting. This year my produce appears to be a cross of thes two . Is this possible? Can these cross pollinate? The fruit has been huge and eats very much like a quality butternut.

I believe they do cross pollinate.
