I feel like I always think of solar punk as a macro thing where a lot has to change but there are still smaller wins we can implement, what have you been doing?

I do a lot more food related DIY stuff, like balcony gardening, food preservation (bought from local farmers directly), planning to grow mushrooms etc.

Oh mushrooms, I wish I had time to get back to those!

I bought a mushroom log last year that was sprouting so I harvested it. I haven't got anything else from it since last spring. I'm bummed because I love mushrooms

Some mushrooms can be shocked into fruiting by dropping the log into a bucket of cold water for a few hours. Probably worth having a search to see if that's relevant for the mushrooms you have.

Good idea!! I they grow in colder weather so I will have to wait. I think the log dried out maybe
