I've never seen or heard of pressed pills.
If the tincture is of sufficient alcohol percentage, is protected from sunlight and heat it should last years. If kept in the freezer it could possibly last indefinately-- or at least so long that it's expiration doesn't matter.
I don't know about the goo. Probably not very long if it was exposed to oxygen.

i had never heard of pressed mushroom pills either. word when i got them was that they are extract pills. buddy of mine who indulged said he thought they were 4-aco. very clean and visual. tested positive for indole
tincture was evaporated all the way down to 14gm/14ml...so 1gram = 1ml. when i did this, most of the alcohol was evaporated due to hours and hours of rippling under a fan. tincture used to store just fine in the freezer, staying a liquid. now that my brother broke into the tincture while i was gone, and having not looked at it for over 6 months, it now freezes in the freezer and has turned a slightly darker color.
the goo is about 9 months old, and is still potent. it's wrapped in wax paper, sealed in a freezer ziploc bag stored in the freezer.

That tells me that somehow a good portion of the alcohol evaporated. You might want to add more (make sure it's really high proof) considering that the alcohol is what keeps the molecule stable.

The goo could last a long time stored like this, but if I had a lot of it I would go one step further and put the ziploc bag in a sealed mason jar with an oxygen absorber. Oxygen absobers look like little desiccant packets and are often found in packages of beef jerky if you aren't familiar with them.
Essentially your tincture is a concentrated extract. I would add enough alcohol to the tincture to bring it up to 20-25%. I know that messes with the dosage calculations, but removing the alcohol from a tincture also removes the largest benefit of having a tincture which is an extremely long shelf life.
