yeah, do all 3.

Shiitake do tend to take a while when fruiting from logs. The log previously fruiting could be the reason for the smaller yield. The good thing is that you can keep logs for a very long time, and they will continue to fruit. They just do so slowly sometimes.

What I usually do with logs, after they fruit once, is burry the log halfway up in a shady part of my landscaping. Part of it being in the ground will keep the log hydrated, and produce more fruits.

Your best bet, if you want a big yield of shiitake, is to do a bulk bag of substrate. It's quicker, and usually produces better.

good luck.
