How do you grow those things?

I harvested some sugar snap peas for the first time this morning too. Maybe we can combine them and make a stir fry!

...I'm going to be selfish with my Shiitakes no soup for you

As far as learning how to grow them, I took an online course with Cornell Small Farms program:

It's been raining a lot in the afternoon and evenings so there is a good chance there will be some. Problem is no one has mowed the areas on the way to the mushrooms so it will be a slog through tall weeds.

Lake year a nice lady who had spotted them when her friend boarded her horses her came out and showed us where she found them. I picked a few but she picked a huge bag full and shared them with us.

Maybe I can talk my husband into checking. He'd have to do the picking anyway since my back is giving me hell these days.
