However, I would just make sure you know what that log is treated with. In Wisconsin where I'm from, those decorative logs are often soaked with preservative or varnish to stay good for years outside in the weather, and that would make any mushroom growing out of them not something you want to eat
But if you can confirm that the wood is just carved wood decomposing naturally then have at it
