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?
