How do I know that all the mushrooms are edible?

 

We inoculated your log all over with high-quality shiitake spawn, cultivated in a sterile environment by a professional mycologist.  The log is full of spawn so that nothing else can easily grow inside.  A healthy log has a strong immune system that fights off diseases and competing fungi.  You may get a fungus on the bark, such as a brown or green fuzz or a hard, woody shelf mushroom, but it's highly unlikely that you'll get any fruiting mushrooms other than a healthful, flavorful shiitake.  If you do, you will recognize it as non-shiitake.  Remove the mushroom.  DON'T EAT IT.  Dab or spray rubbing alcohol on the place where it grew.
