If you have the right type of tree why not consider mushroom plugs.
You can harvest mushrooms for a few years then the stump turns to mush
you can scoop up with a shovel and compost.

Tell me more. I have a filbert nut tree stump about four feet wide and 1-2
feet thick (deep). It is sitting out in my garden...on a path (that's as far
as I could move it). Can I grow mushrooms in it? Out in the garden? With
full sun exposure?

stumps are better than logs but they should be left where they are (in
the ground). You cannot grow mushrooms in full sun, although turkey
tail mushrooms (pretty, but marginally edible) make it.

Thanks for that. I cut down the filbert tree because it was shading my
garden. I (with help...James...my buddy was determined to have it "out!" We
worked in tandem) moved the stump because I wanted to plant potatoes in that
area. We moved it as far as we could...or I didn't know where else to put
it! Either way it is where it is.
And now a mushroom idea...
So the stump should be in the ground...could I put it in...(thinking going
on here)....a garage? And keep it cool and wet? Suggestions welcome.
If that will work where do I get the mushroom 'sperm'...??? How does one
do this?

sure. In fact my mushroom logs are halfway buried in compost, to help with N.

Gawd almighty. Just when you think you've heard everything.

I've been on this blue rock for 60 years and never heard of anyone
"moving" a schtump. In order to plant 'taters, you must've removed
the whole thing, including the roots.

If I have some extra bread, I'll call the pro to grind it to 6" below
ground and fill in with dirt, but more often than not use an ax until
it's at least ground level. Sometimes it takes weeks.

Moving a damn schtump! Go figure.

Oops, now that it's out other fungi might have already laid claim to
it or will have by the time you purchase and recieve your plugs. Next
time then...

Meanwhile, you can trim and polish it for use as a table. Like this:
