That's a really nice flush featured in the photos.
It would be interesting to clone that strain. They appear quite hardy and I'm sure you could build those blocks at home cheaper than buying them retail.
I use an impulse sealer and gusseted filter patch spawn bags.

I just make blocks of rye grass seed, inoculate, seal, and place them in the refrigerator.
It's the ultimate neglect tek since they will fruit invitro - in the darkness of the 'fridge. I've shared these blocks with people who knew nothing about mushrooms but they still got several flushes.

You can get another flush from them, let the blocks dry out for a week(on a rack or something) or so and do a 24 hour dunk(you will need something heavy to make it sink) and set to fruit. The fruits won't be as meaty as the first flush, but well worth doing. I have tried for a 3rd, but the blocks are spent by then and start showing green spots here and there. Shiitakes are one of the easiest mushrooms to print, not sure why you couldn't get them to drop(dry fruits maybe... tough to say without more info). If you decide to grow them making your own bags and or blocks, start them early, it's takes months to fully colonize and brown over. I like to mist them two to three times a day for the first 3 days and let them do there thing in the Martha. Wonderful mushroom, and they do taste Amazing.
My best flush, not the biggest fruits I've grown,
but definitely the best Pinset. 2.2lbs first flush and
almost another pound second(just shy of a pound). I run
my blocks 5.2 to 6 lb blocks without spawn. Each block gets
half a quart which is more than enough. All the best, your plate of goodness
looks delicious!
