Anyone know what this melon is we found on the edge of our compound is in Joshua Tree, CA?
Our unconventional family is new to the area, so we aren’t sure what this is, and didn’t know melons could grow here! Thanks in advance!

Buffalo gourd, *Cucurbita foetidissima.*
Looks like the ones Cindy Crawford is hawking in her immortality lotion

We would call those ditch melons. They are really fun to shoot at! Especially with a slug!
toxic
Coyote melon?
We had them grow wild here near dairies. Dairy owners would say “worthless plant even the cows don’t eat em”.
Buffalo gourd!
I definitely think this is Coyote Melon. Not edible.
