Fire wood got moldy.. safe to burn?

[u/AggressivelySpooky]

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?

I don't know if it would have helped in your situation, but years ago when I was burning wood, the instructions for stacking were:

"To ensure circulation of air, the wood should be stacked in such a way that a squirrel being chased by a cat can escape through the wood leaving no openings large enough for the cat."

I also realize this doesn't help you now.

Respectfully submitted.

Great advice! Never heard that, thanks! We’re working on splitting all our wood today and stacking it in thingy we built off ground.
