Ok this is my first post. ( I have looked for anwers to my question on the forum and can't find any, but apologies if there are).

I am looking to start an organic fruit and vegetable plot in my garden.

However, I think I have just discovered honey fungus growing on one of my very old lilac trees at the top end of the garden. While at the other end, are smaller mushrooms growing in a patch where I dug a tree stump out.

My questions a

1) If, in deed, it is honey fungus and I suceed to produce fruit and veg are these OK to eat.

2) They tree stump that I dug out of the garden, is likely to have been treated with chemicals to encourage the decaying process, how long should I leave it before I can safely eat produce from this plot?
