Hello! I’ve recently started putting together my hugelculture, planning on planting some walnuts, hazelnuts, and some bushes and shrubs up here in Central Sweden (zone 5/6). However, I’ve discovered that everything dead on the ground has been eaten on by honey fungus. I saw a lot of the fruiting bodies last year and now I’m finding boot straps all up and down the fallen logs and stumps that I want to use in my hugelculture.

The question is, given the fact that it’s everywhere anyway, is there any point in me not introducing it to my hugelculture. In other words should I put in a lot of effort to avoid using deadwood from my land just to slow down, The inevitable spread of the fungus to my Hugo culture. And lastly, how bad is honey fungus if I take good care of the trees and make sure they’re always watered and not stress stressed out?
