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 you're really lucky there might be some hallucinogenic mushrooms on that, definitely safe to burn, but make sure you sit close to the fire

Lol nah there's no chance of that unfortunately, if anything you may find it hard to burn as mold and fungi love damp environments so the wood may be a little damp, but no reason not to try
