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.
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.
Witches’ Butter! (maybe)
I’ve never been brave enough to eat it, looks kinda… not good.
Edit : here’s a better article
Nice! They're fun to toss in soups or make gummies
