Toxic

Severe Toxicity

Entoloma lividoalbum is generally considered inedible or of unknown edibility. While not definitively proven to be highly toxic like some of its relatives (e.g., Entoloma sinuatum), it is prudent to treat all Entoloma species with caution due to the presence of several dangerously poisonous members within the genus. Consumption could lead to gastrointestinal upset, including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Due to the risk of misidentification with highly toxic species, it is strongly advised against consumption.

Toxin Type: Unknown, but likely gastrointestinal irritants.Reaction Type: Gastrointestinal
