Pnly time I have ever seen fresh shitakes at Publix was part of a mix of shrooms in a package.

The Chinese grocery I hit up occasionally has a number of these mushrooms around. I can find dried porcini at Publix, but otherwise it's that "gourmet" pack you mentioned. I hate buying it, though, because half the package is white button. Yeah, there are a few oyster and shitake in there, but mostly it's crap. Only place I could ever find just oyster mushrooms was Whole Foods.
I'm excited about the king oyster, though. I've never used them before. They're enormous. I've also never used the brown beech.
