The Livid entoloma, also known as Livid agaric, Livid pinkgill or Leaden entoloma, is a poisonous mushroom found in northern Europe. It derives its common name from an old scientific name, Entoloma lividum. It was also known as Rhodophyllus sinuatus.

Entoloma is a genus of pink spored fungi, the Livid entoloma being the largest of the genus. Occurring in parks or deciduous woodlands, it has a ivory to light grey-brown cap to 20cm across, with a whitish stem and pink free gills.

Poisoning is said to be mainly gastrointestinal in nature.
