Bleachy Entoloma
Entoloma ferruginans
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.
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. Its scent resembles a chlorinated swimming pool, hence the common name bleachy entoloma. It resembles some species in its genus, with DNA testing needed to distinguish it from E. cinereolamellatum.
