Entoloma farlowii is a species of pinkish-brown to brown fungi that grows in clusters on the ground in deciduous and mixed forests. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits from April to July, often associated with oak, hickory, and pine trees. The cap is 2-6 cm wide, convex to flat, and has a wrinkled or veined appearance. The gills are pinkish-brown and densely crowded. The stem is slender, 3-7 cm long, and has a white to pale brown base. This fungus is considered rare in the region, but can be locally common in suitable habitats, such as the Lost Maples State Natural Area and the Sam Houston National Forest.
