shiitakes require a few things including a temp drop and a physical smack with the hand or other implement. they are a bit more finnicky than oysters but not super difficult. oysters are by far my favorite they will grow on almost anything, a couple years ago i grew some on a set of my old clothes they fruited several times before i composted the colony.
i went to dig thru the high fibre compost pile that i threw some oyster logs into last season and i found some mycelium growing in bundles of old newspapers. i figure i'll get some nice fruits from them when they start to grow and i should be able to post some pics
