white mould, fur on newly chopped kindling stored inside


Recommended Posts

Hello

Storm damage brought down a pine, so split it into kindling for in prep for next winter, i dont have much storage so i netted it so easier to stack in the garage. stacked up and in a dry garage its started to go white fur, mold. 

I was going to chuck them outside in the summer when we get a good full weeks worth of sun to bake  in the nets and then store them back inside.

I presume this will disappear once they start to dry, as freshly cut and made into kindling so high water content? 
or am i best just cutting them open and chucking them in a wooden crate outside with a tarp on top and letting them dry out that way and net them later in the summer for ease to carry them in and to give to friends etc.

Thanks Sean

It's a fungi I can't rember the name of that tends to live between bark and wood on felled timber. I get it on mine if I get the timing just right for when the bark is ready to fall off, but not actually off. Once it's off it tends to die back again. It's totally harmless if looks a little ugly.

Yeah it will be for my use mainly, and for the odd friend. Thanks for the replies, was just checking its not an issue and over time the kindling will become worse hopefully get it nice and dry over summer. Cheers :)

Second thought, if this is all freshly cut then all the moisture coming off it is straight into condensation onto all your other stuff in the gerage..... Just me but I tend to leave it all outside stacked up till it is dry then bring it inside.
