apologies if ive put this in wrong place!!!! about a year ago i bought some big lumps of beech with the idea of using them for some carvings, i moved some stuff today to make a start only to find them covered in fungi?? can anyone tell me if this will die if i dry the wood, or any other ideas of how to get rid of!! or is it best to turn it into firewood!!! cheers:confused1:
