There is a bark place down the road that sells mushroom compost and steer
compost. Is this stuff good for the garden? Can I use it like compost and
heap it on the ground around plants and trees?


Yes.


With the caveat that contact (with root crops, lettuce or herbs),
splashing from rain, or dust from working the soil can transmit
pathogens to low lying fruit and, ultimately, to to you, even if you are
Australian. Ornamentals, fruit trees or, corn are no problem.
