Edit: this is most certainly misinformation. Do not eat wild mushrooms

I read once that any mushroom/fungi growing on a tree is safe to eat, but don't take my word for it, or the word of whoever wrote what I read.

Who ever wrote that is probably dead by now.

Deadly Galerina likes to grow on dead conifers.

Here it is on a tree

Death Cap grows on tree roots, not sure if that counts.

There aren’t a ton of mushrooms that grow on healthy living trees I think, so it’s kinda hard to find a poisonous example but maybe Jack O’ Lanterns count. They can grow at the base of living hardwood trees. They won’t kill you but you will have a very bad time. I think there’s another closely related species that grows on both conifers and hardwoods.

I was definitely misinformed then.
