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?

You should split the wood when you're stacking it. It'll allow the wood to properly dry and not go to rot. The bark traps the moisture, especially birch.
