A mushroom is more closely related to a tree than to a gecko. Both mushrooms and trees are part of the domain Eukarya, which includes all organisms that have complex cells with a nucleus. However, mushrooms belong to the kingdom Fungi, while trees are part of the kingdom Plantae.
On the other hand, geckos are part of the kingdom Animalia. Therefore, in terms of evolutionary relationships, mushrooms and trees share a more recent common ancestor than mushrooms and geckos.
