Fungi removal

I have fungi growing on eucalyptus logs. The tree was cut down 2 years ago & the logs have been in a sunny spot seasoning. They now have fungi growing on them.
Did a Google search & it was suggested a diluted white vinegar spray would kill the fungi, have also tried neat white vinegar but neither seems to be killing it.
Any suggestions?

 

Just leave them. They're part of the natural breaking down process and very few are harmful in any way to either humans or any other life form.

 

I would prefer to kill the fungi before I bring the logs inside the house & put them in the log basket by the fire

 

You could brush them off, but as you're bringing them inside, they'll likely just dry up and drop off by themselves anyway

 

• It is likely that the logs are not stored correctly. Fungi will require moisture to develop. Wood for burning needs to be dry (less than 20% moisture). Check that the logs are sheltered and stacked above the ground, ie upon runners , so that there is no soil contact. Stack should be covered with a sloping cover but left open to wind.Most timber requires 2 seasons (18 months+) to air dry before burning. Damp timber should not be burnt as it will smoulder and produce excess carbon monoxide which can be fatal.

There is no hazard to you or your household from the fungi unless the conditions are similar to the outside where these fungi have developed.

 

You can spray them but you are unlikely to kill the actual fungus, what you are seeing is likely to be just the fruiting body, the actual fungal threads will be deep inside the wood.
Very few fungus are dangerous unless you try eating them .

 

Agree with @infradig; those logs don't look suitable for burning and by that I mean entirely unsuitable.
