I will brush the logs with a wire brush when I burn them and the logs without the mould I will sell to neighbours. Yes horse chestnut isn't the best firewood understood but it is far better providing heat for humans than rotting in a woodland and feeding the woodlice. It is on pallets and covered which should keep mould at bay. Thanks for the advice.

It has been covered for about 4 months but the mould was already there when I collected it. I uncovered it a few days ago in the hopes that the high UV levels would kill it so as to become unnoticeable. Unfortunately horse chestnut was all the Gamekeeper had readily accessible though it could well be that someone took all the good wood before my arrival.

Lowestoft already on pallets and getting plenty of ventilation with the tarpaulin off.

Thanks for your advice Muttley. What solution would you recommend to get rid of the mould stain? The Internet is suggesting white vinegar mixed with water though I will have to wipe any excess so as not to dampen the wood again. Regards, Theo

Hello, Recently a Gamekeeper allowed me to collect some felled horse chestnut that had been left in the woods for some time. I have noticed there is some black mould (1st photo) and green mould (2nd photo) on the wood. If I leave it this wood in the sunshine for long enough will the mould disappear? We've had about 5 days of continuous 30 degree sunshine here which has made the wood so light my wood stack collapsed (restacked now) but I am wondering if the mould will ever go. Many thanks for any advice in advance. Theo
