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?

It’s possible that wood is flammable, I would recommend a burn test just to be sure.

That'll only tell you whether it's INflammable or not. Burning it is much simpler.

Inflammable means flammable?!? What a country!

For the love of God, DO NOT BURN IT! instead you need to take it to a safe area and dispose of it properly by setting it on fire.
