Best Answer

No, it's a fungus that grows on decaying wood and is categorized as part of the Pezizomycetes class. Since it obtains nourishment from a dead "host," it can't be classified as a parasite.

What is one type of parasitism?

Symbiotic. Where the parasite returns something in exchange for living off the host. One of the most common forms of symbiotic parasite relationships is certain types of tree fungus. It derives all it's nutrition from the tree but in exchange protects the tree from certain types of insects. The fungus would not survive with out the tree but the tree would survive without the fungus. The fungus gives the tree something in return for it's survival therefore it is a symbiotic parasite.
