Entoloma lividoalbum is a small to medium-sized agaric fungus with a pale blue-gray cap and white gills. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically grows in groups on nutrient-poor soil in coniferous and mixed forests. It has been found in north-western Russia, particularly in the regions surrounding St. Petersburg, where it fruits from late summer to early autumn. The fungus is considered rare in the region, but can be locally abundant in suitable habitats.
