Entoloma ferruginans is an endemic mushroom of California in North America. It smells distinctly like a chlorinated pool at the YMCA, thus the common name bleachy entoloma. E. ferruginans lives in mycorrhizal association with live oaks south of the San Francisco Bay.{{cite book |title=Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast: A Comprehensive Guide to the Fungi of Coastal Northern California |last1=Siegel |first1=Noah |last2=Schwarz |first2=Christian |year=2016 |publisher=Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed |page=206 |lccn=2015027853 |isbn=9781607748182 |oclc=956478776 }} This mushroom was first described by Charles Horton Peck in 1895 from a type specimen collected under oak trees in Pasadena.{{Cite journal |last=Largent |first=David L. |date=July 1971 |title=Rhodophylloid Fungi of the Pacific Coast (United States) I: Type Studies and New Combinations of Species Described Prior to 1968 |url=http://link.springer.com/10.2307/2805626 |journal=Brittonia |volume=23 |issue=3 |pages=238 |doi=10.2307/2805626}}
