As part of the mushroom surveys in the unexplored areas of Korea, we found a phalloid fungus from a saline sand beach in 2019 and 2020. The species is mainly characterized by its reticulate pileus and violet volva with well-developed rhizomorphs. This species was identified as Phallus hadriani, based on ITS (internal transcribed spacer) sequences of rDNA and morphological characteristics. Herein, we described P. hadriani as new to Korea. In addition, we provided a morphological comparison to closely related species.
