i'm not too familiar with shiitake i've only grown them from pre spawned and browned blocks. i would reason that if you only want enough to eat and share the easiest route would be plugs in logs. have you kept them watered? they need regular watering to keep growing. also the more plugs you put in the faster the log will fruit, less plugs takes longer to colonize. if you can find out where he got the spawn plugs the company might have some strain specific info
