I'd like the story I'm writing to be in a Lunarpunk genre, but I can't get a full understanding what Lunarpunk is . Any sources or tips ?

Genres are notoriously difficult to define, and it doesn't help that this one doesn't even exist, except as an "aesthetic", or are loose collection of themes and motifs. Defining it as the opposite of another non-existent genre is hardly helpful.

Bio-luminescent clothing and nature, fungus and mushrooms, Wiccan references and culture, glass or crystals, neon

In tune with the spirits of nature, enigmatic and sometimes shady society, more respect for oneself and the environment rather than everyone else

Cyberpunk has an inherent narrative: disenfranchised individuals against a broken system. What is the fundamental narrative here? Mushrooms and New Age magic are not a story archetype. Something about self-discovery, perhaps? Withdrawal into nature? The return of the "natural" world "recolonizing" built environments? I don't know. I'm grasping at bio-luminescent mushrooms here.
