Entoloma ferruginans is a species of mushroom first described by Charles Horton Peck in 1895 from a type specimen collected under oak trees in Pasadena, California.[1]
The grayish cap is up to 12 centimetres (4 3⁄4 in) wide. The stem is 15 cm long and up to 4 cm (1 1⁄2 in) thick. The spore print is pinkish.[2] Its scent resembles a chlorinated swimming pool, hence the common name bleachy entoloma.[3] It resembles some species in its genus, with DNA testing needed to distinguish it from E. cinereolamellatum.[2]
It lives in mycorrhizal association with live oaks south of the San Francisco Bay,[3] being found from December to February.[2]
