Maybe you can grow shittake mushrooms in poplar logs.
You can grow shiitake on poplar, but they decompose SO FAST , especially in warm humid climates like the south, that your better choice is oyster > mushrooms. We have found, here at Earthaven in NC, that our "poplar"
(Liriodendron, actually a cousin to magnolia) rots in about a year on
the ground (even the big logs turn to mush) while, usually without inoculation, volunteering a fair amount of oyster species.
