Brother hears some with the two fireplaces in wintertime. They use propane also. Lots of chestnut oak where they are.

I will describe it.
There's a nice assortment of saeasoned hardwood under tarp / over tarp. And then a bunch of ash-boarer'd ash that I've cut and split.
Unfortunately it's too full of snakes and spiders for me to consider going near it to take a picture.
We have a fireplace with a blower on it in the house - never used it. I do heat the garage with wood in the winter

Like everything else at Casa Jefe mine comes with some disassembly required. At least I got a "new" tool for my troubles.
I burn 2 cord a winter as supplemental heat in a Vermont Castings Vigilant stove. Ambient air above 15'F roasts me out of my house as I have to run the stove at full throttle to avoid creosote problems.

I built these ugly things out of scraps on pallets to put on the back of the tractor to stack only once in the woods and bring them to the back door. I can't quite lift a full one as its about a half cord, but even 2/3 full is a good amount of wood, and I top them off when they are near the house. ~2.5 cords does most of our heat for the winter. I need to build 4 more to get a year ahead with some improvements.
You don't try to burn maple wet I hope? I try to get at least a whole summers drying time for it, and two summers is better!

Nah I have two woodsheds but of course they devolve into OPE storage as the wood supplies deplete. I need to combine my two half-full ones into one full one, as I have been not quite depleting a winter's worth of wood over a winter. Then the new stuff goes in. I have a back wall in both so I can't do any shenanigans of loading green on one side while consuming seasoned from the other. It's a lot of stupid repeated movement of material. If I'm lucky I can do it in the rain and mud.
Well you're getting your money's worth, your firewood warms you up a bit more that mine does!
If the snow is packed I run out in my slippers to get mine, but it just makes it feel warmer once I get back inside.
Depends on what type of mushroom. I like being close to the sunHow flammable are the mold and mushrooms?
Here’s mine, mainly fir, but I had to take down a pine tree and have been letting it dry, quartered in the 80- 90 degree heat. I’ve burned both pine and fir in a modern high efficiency air tight stove at hot temps nearing 500 F. It has a double walled insulated stainless steel chimney and I witnessed the chimney cleaner doing his thing. There was virtually no creosote and I won’t be wasting money on chimney cleaners any more or avoiding pine trees as long as they are dry. Rant over. Here are the pics. You can see the larger quartered pine along with smaller pieces of fir. When my heat pump packs it in, and the propane fires up, I’ll start a fire each morning and keep it tended if I’m home. It’s a bit cheaper than propane and the ambience is much greater. Enjoy.
