Get involved at the RMC
The RMC volunteer crews are the gathering’s mycelial core. We simply can't put on such a large and many-spored event without dozens of amazing mycofolk throwing down for the love of fungi!
If you are interested in volunteering at the 2026 RMC, the exchange is simple: for 16 hours of your time (typically done in four four-hour shifts), you will receive a four-day pass (including tent camping and parking) to the main RMC events that take place on Thursday through Sunday (September 24–27, 2026).
If this sounds good to you, fill out the application below!
Please note that we have a limited number of positions available due to the nature of the event.

The RMC is supported by multiple teams behind-the-scenes.
Impact / No-Show / Cancellation Fee
If your application is accepted, we will contact you to let you know what roles and shifts you are assigned to. We will then ask that you pay a $15 non-refundable impact fee to secure your spot. This fee will need to be paid using a credit card within fourteen (14) days of being notified.
After paying your impact fee, your encrypted credit card information will be stored in our system until after the RMC. In the event that you cancel your volunteer position on short notice or miss any of your assigned shifts, you will be charged a fee. If you cancel your attendance on or after September 10 (two weeks before the start of the RMC) or do not show up for any of your assigned shifts, $185 will be charged to your card.
These fees help us ensure that we will be properly prepared for the RMC, so that it is as enjoyable as possible for all – we have simply had too many volunteers not show up to their shifts in the past. Thank you for your understanding and support in this logistical need of the RMC!
