Drug, Alcohol, Fire, Firearms, and Fireworks Policy
The Radical Mycology Convergence is a drug-, personal fire-, firearm-, and firework-free event. Alcohol will be served on site to attendees aged 21 and over (with valid identification). We ask that people drink responsibly and to keep the drinking family friendly and appropriate. Cigarette smoking is allowed in designated smoking areas only. Anyone deemed by RMC staff to be overly intoxicated, in possession of firearms or fireworks, or at risk of impacting the success of the RMC due to substance use may be asked to leave without a refund.
Safer Space Statement
To create a healthy environment for learning and building a welcoming community at the Radical Mycology Convergence, behavior that demeans, marginalizes, or threatens people because of personal characteristics that harm no one (e.g. age, gender, ethnicity, religion, mental health status, race, culture, sexual orientation, general appearance, income level, living situation, experience in social or mycological work, or being a parent or a child) will not be tolerated. Anyone deemed by RMC staff to be intentionally breaking this code of respectful conduct may be asked to leave without a refund.
Disagreement Navigation
As the topics covered at the RMC can challenge common assumptions about mycology, some attendees may disagree with a presenter’s opinion or lecture. In such cases, we encourage consensual and respectful discussion between the parties. If the discussion is likely to be lengthy, we ask that it be held after the presentation ends, so that other attendees can learn from the presenter. Presenters are not required to engage in debate or discussion about their presentation. Attendees non-consensually confronting or engaging in debate with any attendee, presenter, or staff member may be asked to leave.
The opinions of presenters and performers do not necessarily reflect those of the RMC or its staff. RMC staff will not provide mediation for disagreements. If an attendee is unsatisfied with the information or opinions provided by a presenter, we welcome feedback here or at the feedback station at the Hyphal Tip.
