Burning Dangerous fungus

[Arbor Vista]

Over tea-time we were musing over if there were any wood with dangerous tree fungus/diseases that should not be burned in a fireplace? ie: should London Plane Tree (Platanus acerifolia) be used as a fuelwood?

Huh??

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the fungus burn??

There is the same myth about burning oak wilt wood.

It hit 108 here today, not too concerned about firewood.

I read that Callistemon will produce toxic smoke if burned.

i would think that part of that would depend on heat of fire, and wether noxious elements smoldered, or where consumed completely in the incineration of the fire.

Hate to point out the obvious, but is there any smoke (from an actual fire) that isn't toxic?
