What is the RMC?
A four-day, family-friendly fungi festival with diverse workshops during the day time, mushroom-related entertainment as night, and a variety of immersive experience and creative events sprinkled throughout the weekend.
The RMC is family-friendly and does not emphasize psychoactive fungi. At our core, we aim to create meaningful, moving, and motivating encounters with fungi that inspire attendees to make positive change in the world.
When and where is the 2026 RMC?
The 2026 Radical Mycology Convergence will take place September 24–27, 2026 at Brown Bottle Farm in Mulino, Oregon. See more info about arriving here.
Fertile Substrate, the pre-RMC work party, will take place September 18–20, 2026.
Why is the Radical Mycology Convergence only held every-other year?
The RMC is a special event for us and one that we pour a significant amount of thought and energy into every time the planning ball gets rolling. We find great joy in watching the Convergence evolve over time, and are always excited to see how each gathering can most dynamically impact the modern mycoculture’s discourse and expressions.
In the years between gatherings, we listen, observe, and discuss how the event can most fully inspire and enliven those who attend – both in a mycological context and in relationship to the broader state of the world. Were we to hold the every year, such intentionality would not be as nuanced.
Will food and drinks be available for sale?
You betcha! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner meal options will be available for sale each day at the RMC eatery, The Spitz.
Coffee will be for sale in the mornings. Cold drinks will sold throughout the day. And various alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks will be available each evening.
There will also be designated cooking areas for campers (please bring your own propane cook stove).
Are trash and recycling containers provided?
No. The RMC is a “pack in, pack out" event with no containers available on site for disposing of your trash or recyclables. Please plan to take home ALL of the trash that you generate during the Convergence.
Is the RMC an all ages event?
Yes! The Convergence is an all ages event BUT anyone under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. A legal guardian must have proper documentation. No exceptions.
Is childcare provided?
Yes, the RMC offers free childcare for children 12 and under during all workshop sessions. All childcare volunteers have experience in caring for children.
What is the bathroom, drinking water, and shower situation?
There will be numerous portable restrooms on site that will be serviced regularly. There will also be several composting toilets for attendees wishing to use this alternative bathroom style. Rustic hand washing and drinking water stations will be positioned throughout the site.
Rustic cold shower stalls will be available for campers. Please bring your own biodegradable soap.
Is there a medical team at the RMC?
Yes! A volunteer medical team will be on duty. If you need assistance please head to the registration booth (Hyphal Tip).
Is the RMC clothing optional?
No. The RMC celebrates freedom of individual expression, and while we love all bodies, this is a family friendly event, so we ask that things stay PG-13.
Is the RMC a drug-free event?
Consumption of alcohol is permitted by those 21 and over, and cigarette smoking is allowed in designated areas. All other drugs or illegal substances are not permitted. Anyone caught with illegal substances will be escorted from the event and may face legal consequences. Please see our Policies section to learn more.
Can I bring a pet?
Unfortunately, no. To protect the site’s resident animals, the RMC has a strict no-pet rule. Only documented service animals required for a disability, and that are trained to handle active environments, are allowed. If you have a service animal, please contact us before the event.
What if my pet is a service animal?
The RMC is hosted on a private farm which is home to dogs and livestock. We will be able to accommodate a limited number of service animals. If you wish to bring your service animal, please contact us prior to registration so that we can ensure there is space for the animal.
If we are able to accommodate your service animal, you must bring email us a copy of your pet’s service animal registration documents at least three (3) days prior to the start of the RMC. We will not allow non-registered service animals on site.
Will there be somewhere to leave items that I don’t want to leave in my tent/car?
No. We recommend not bringing items of value to the RMC. We are not responsible for lost or stolen items.
Is there a lost and found?
Yes, lost and found is located at the registration booth (Hyphal Tip).
Will there be water for sale?
No, single use water bottles are not sold at the RMC. Please bring a non-glass reusable bottle and refill at one of our drinking water refill stations located throughout the site.
Is the site wheelchair accessible?
The terrain at the farm is uneven and there are areas with steep grading, thus we do not consider it wheelchair accessible. Read more about the RMC site here.
How can I get involved?
Whether you’re a 7-timer or this is your first RMC, we welcome everyone to take part in co-creating our community. We’re currently seeking volunteers, teachers, artists, vendors, and performers to make the 2026 Convergence the best one yet!
