they are more than likely HELPING the plant by breaking down organic matter and making the nutrients more readily available for the tree, they may also be helping the tree to get
water
they dont look like anything edible to me
but i couldnt tell you with exact certainty because that pic doesnt do
enough to identify to mushroom to my eyes
for a lot of mushrooms you require a spore print (just cut a mature cap off at the stem and place it on a green piece of paper or glass (white works but some spore prints are white and hard to see whereas i know of no spore prints which are green) and cover with a bowl or jar to keep wind off for 12-24 hours
also take very detailed notes of everything from the cap color, shape, texture and the stem color, shape, texture, and whether or not there are remnants of a ring around the stem
when you get done observing everthing you can above ground then when you remove the mushroom you take for the print, gently pinch the base of the stem and pull it fro mthe soil, see what color the mycelium is that clings to the base, most will be white but not all
basically there are millions of shrooms in the world, thousands of which are yet to be identified, and most of them cannot be identified from a simple picture, if you really really want to know your best bet is to contact a
local mycologist in your area and get either a fresh or dried sample to them to look at for you
