Default Oyster and shiitake mushrooms?

HI
We have a very shaded part at the back of our allotment, not much will
grow, so we are thinking of try to grow oyster and shiitake mushrooms.
Has anyone in the group tried this? What type of dead wood is best eg
oak. We have some 2-year-old apple trunks quietly rotting away, would
they be any good?
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Paul.
