Conkers come only from a Horse-chestnut tree. There are other types of Chestnut trees.

I reckon SeasideMan has come up with the right answer there
... also sweet chestnuts from the chestnut tree can be roasted and eaten whereas Conkers from the horse chestnut tree cannot. -

Conkers (horse-chestnuts) aren't edible (unless you're a squirrel) Sweet chestnuts are edible.

AND
English chestnuts which you can't eat as they are poisonous to people, but you can play conkers with.
