Lunarpunk is a subgenre of solarpunk with a darker aesthetic. It portrays the nightlife, spirituality, and more introspective side of solarpunk utopias. It can be defined as "Witchy Solarpunk." Aesthetically, lunarpunk usually is presented with pinks, purples, blues, black, and silver with an almost omnipresence of bioluminescent plants and especially mushrooms

These glowing plants are bioluminescent petunias, bioengineered by scientists at Light Bio. You can now not only buy the Firefly Petunias on the Light Bio website, but they are also available to purchase in store at more than 200 US retailers. This comes after online sales proved the popularity of these remarkable plants since their release last year.

Will this fuck with bird migration the way street lighting does?

I can't comment on bird migration with any expertise but I can say that street light is considerably brighter and I can't really see these contributing to light pollution. The bioluminescence comes from an enzyme that exists in mushrooms and other organisms in nature fairly frequently already.
