Eriogonum incanum is common throughout the central and southern Sierra Nevada of California (Alpine, El Dorado, Fresno, Inyo, Madera, Mariposa, Nevada, Tulare, and Tuolumne counties) and extreme west-central Nevada (Carson City, Douglas, and Washoe counties). It is a food plant for the green hairstreak butterfly (Callophrys lemberti), the Pacific dotted-blue (Euphilotes enoptes), and the gorgon copper (Gaeides gorgon).

Eriogonum tumulosum is infrequent in Duchesne, Emery, eastern Sevier, and Uintah counties, Utah, and in western Moffat County, Colorado. It is often confused with Parthenium ligulatum (M. E. Jones) Barneby (Asteraceae); they grow together and both form dense hummock-like mats. Woodside wild buckwheat is seen infrequently in rock gardens.
