Would you use diseased woodchips?

I finally have found myself someone prepared to drop woodchips at my door, to mulch out planting in my garden. The trouble is, I believe there is a lot in there that is ash, that has been cut down because of ash dieback.

My reading suggests that its no issue; there is only any chance of a problem if the woodchip were in contact with the roots of a tree. That won't happen directly, I'm not digging them in - but the idea of having diseased chips does raise alarm bells. Its a fungal disease, which by its nature means it is breaking down the wood. In that event, as the wood becomes soil, it will run out of fuel. I don't plan on planting any ash or sycamore trees, but I do have both on my landscape (although nowhere near 'the garden').

I'm inclined not to look a gift horse in the mouth, free woodchips are incredibly hard to find in the UK. In normal circumstances, people do not know what is landing at their door. But as I do know - would this concern anyone at all?

I would. I am not an expert. I think that your comments sound very reasonable.

Hm, I would be very cautious. Can the fungal spores be transported by wind or water? Also, lot of fungal diseases are transferred to healthy trees by an insect host. A load of chips from diseased trees would likely carry those insects as eggs.
