Mistletoe one

A fallen lump of mistletoe. Notice how the base of the mistletoe is a good deal fatter than the now dead twig to which it was attached. Does it count as a parasite or does it help the tree along enough for it to be classified as symbiosis? The tree provides the minerals and the mistletoe provides the carbohydrate?
