The dune stinkhorn (Phallus hadriani) is a species of
fungus recognized by its
phallic-shaped
fruiting body and its pitted and ridged
cap. It is distinguished from the
common stinkhorn by the pink or violet-colored
volva at the base of the
stem. As the
common name implies, the fungus has a strong
odor; some describe it as pleasant, while others find it foetid or putrid.Photo credit:
