Burning wood with mold or fungus

I had to store some of my wood under a tarp. Now I'm building a shed for wood storage. The wood under the tarp has a little white mold & some kind of fungus. Woods not covered with it but there is a little here & there. Any problem with burning the wood?

It provides a few extra btu... burn it.

Fungus spores/roots/rhizomes actually dig into the wood where they can and develop small air channels that dry the wood even better but do decrease the btu content of the wood (minutely). It's safe to burn but the wood is usually too wet to burn half way decent unless the fire is really hot. I was about to tell you to ship me about ten pieces of it and I would conduct burn tests for you but then I figured you probably wouldn't trust someone you haven't met before.

No issues . . . if you really want you can knock it off before putting it in the shed and it should dry out . . . just don't cut up the mushrooms and stick them in your spaghetti sauce!

That wasn't oregano either.

I was just bored so I was "noodling" around on the board. These puns are getting out of hand. I'm going to the kitchen to "pasta" time away.

Ewe awl are too mulch. :lol:
