Probably but what specific squash variety were they to begin with? Some varieties are normally warty in appearance.

Dave, these are just a crookneck yellow squash, from a seed packet I purchased in a store. I've seen them at all stages, from very small to large and normal ones do not look like this. That's why I thought these two were so strange.

Ahh, they look almost like deformed ears of corn don't they?

I'd lay it off on some sort of issue at pollination or some virus will have that effect. But so can some pests and I see the little look-like dark puncture mark in the center of each swelling. Otherwise no way to tell for sure.

Thanks Dave :) It's weird looking, isn't it? I guess we'll never know for sure...... :D
