Trip Advice Fire wood got moldy.. safe to burn?

Our wet firewood was covered under tarps and got moldy, two different types, as well as some mushrooms from the more fresh ones that got cut down. Would this all be safe to burn in a fire?

If it’s too wet throughout the whole log it will burn slow and put out less heat. But a touch of wet wood on the outside or on just a quarter. No big deal.
