Housing materials:Temporary, easily built and torn down shelters made from natural materials and usually mostly consisting of convenient nooks and crannies that already existed. Tree hollows and shallow caves are popular, and often home is just a bunch of hammocks in the treetops.
Agriculture:Lushlop areas are taken care of by any and all lushlops heading through the area with the environmental understanding to do so, and it's an inherent part of their culture to look after their environments and maintain them, though it's not for export necessarily; just for nomadic survival and convenience. They rely entirely on trade for a few things, but all necessities are completely covered by short-term hunting and gathering.
Main trades: Herbs and medicines plants and roots, fruit and honey, flowers and seeds, meat and animal-based food items, leather/fur/wool products, bone and nature-based weaponry, insects and bugs, sports equipment, crafting tools and materials, vehicles and boats, charmed and cursed items.
Vehicles and boats are a huge part of their industry as they have to get around somehow! Generally magically powered vehicles are the biggest export for lushlops that travel around a little less, but another major export is rare animals and their byproducts.
Clothing tendency: Some rules, specific areas must be covered
Clothing styles: Loose and a mixture of decorative, cultural, practical and environmental. Clothes are designed to tear and come apart easily while still holding together where it's most important, and generally tend to be water-resistant, tightly woven fabrics made out of refined plant matter. They are elaborately decorated and layered, and generally rips, tears and tassels in clothing are very admirable; the more worn something is, the cooler it looks. Layering is huge, within practical realms.
