Transporting Shitakke Tea

If one were hypothetically going to be attending a large outdoor concert and wanted to bring along some "nutrients" one had extracted into a tea from shitakke mushrooms, would it be more or less safe to keep them in an orange juice bottle or something (assuming one didn't have any paraphernalia and was stopped by the police on the road)? It seems to me that it would be much safer to transport it this way (could easily have enough nutrients to go for maybe 10 friends or so in one 12oz bottle...just give each one an ounce of fluid). Obviously this is safer than transporting actual plant material (as shitakke's might look too much like some illegal hallucinogenic species).
Any thoughts / experience with this? Is it more or less a surefire way not to get caught? (i.e. what are the odds that they would test a normal-looking bottle of orange juice for plant alkaloids if they found nothing else in the car)

well if your oranje juice was brown/black they would certainly think something is up. how about an actual tea bottle or something that is actually the right color. you'd be fine that way.

Thanks John for the good suggestion....not sure what anon is saying there? I'd definitely give you a 5/5 but I don't have enough posts yet to rate people (long-time lurker despite being a member). I hope to get more involved in the community though.
So thanks again.

This has been my understanding that if I were to need or want to take along medicinal mushroom extracts I would do so in liquid form. You could potentially boil your medicinal mushroom in the final solution whether it be coffee or orange juice and still get the desired results. You could just as easily boil them in water and them add them to another substance or use the water to mix with a kool-aid or sweet tea. My question is how concentrated could you actually get from water based extraction?

Two problems with liquid form:
1) It is likely to go bad unless its in the freezer 2) The weight of the substance includes water weight, getting caught with it would be a very serious offense
