Hi Cara,
Currently, there isn't a recipe that is shown to be validated for safety and quality from the National Center for Home Food Preservation and canning bamboo at home.
However, I'm happy to chat more (<personal data hidden>; P:<personal data hidden>), but you could create a recipe and send the recipe and sample of your canned item to a process authority would could review and validate your bamboo recipe, specifically for your current home location. There would be a fee but you would have confidence that the recipe and method were a safe shelf-stable jar of bamboo shoots.
You May want to reach out to Cornell for processing a low-acid food with Bamboos https://cals.cornell.edu/cornell-agritech/partners-institutes/cornell-food-venture-center/cfvc-services-fees
