Should I shiitake now or let it grow more?

I found this log in my backyard after getting a new house and noticed it looked like it had plugs. So I put it in a shady spot, and then today I noticed these growing out of it. I looked it up, and it looks to be shiitake mushrooms. My question is, are these ready to be picked? and are they for sure shiitake?
