Add groats and a pinch of salt; cook for 10 minutes. Add farro; cook until both grains are tender and soft, 20 to 25 minutes more. Drain; set aside. Meanwhile, separate stems from greens. Dice the stems and chop the greens. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to brown, about 4 minutes. Add shiitakes and the greens stems; cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chopped greens in batches and cook, stirring, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer half the mixture to a small bowl and cover to keep warm. Stir the cooked groats and farro, broth and miso into the pan. Adjust heat to maintain a simmer and cook until the liquid is reduced and the risotto thickens, about 10 minutes. Add cheese, butter, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and white pepper and cook, stirring, until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute more. Serve the risotto topped with the mushroom mixture. Garnish with turnips and edible flowers, if desired. To make ahead: Refrigerate cooked groats and farro (Step 1) for up to 2 days.
