Will fresh stump grindings kill my other trees?

Hello,

I recently had a large dying willow tree taken down and had the stump grinded out. This left a lot of wood shavings. I spent a bit of time yesterday putting some of these under other trees around the yard (see pic). I started reading around online and now I am concerned the new wood shavings will take all the nutrients out of the ground and kill my living trees. I'm not really concerned about growing any other plants where the wood chips are anytime soon. I just needed a place to put them and it saves me from mowing around a bunch of trees now. Thanks in advance!
