Wild Driftwood Preparation

Anyone have experience collecting wild driftwood?
What processing steps do you need to take? Boiling
with salt, disinfecting etc. Is this a dangeroius proposition?
Bought Store driftwood is bloody expensive.

There have been many techniques offered on sites. My own is: No one
knows what chemicals were sprayed on the tree or what is in the water.
So I do not use driftwood. Instead I use dead branches from the
honeysuckle hedge. I whack them on the sidewalk until nothing further
falls off. I put them in the aquarium. In time they sink. There is
a noted time when 2 mushrooms grew on one floating branch.
