1lb Mushroom Tea Concentrate -- What to do next?

I was given (not a cover, actually just given to me) two mason jars, each with exactly half a pound of mushrooms (Albino A+) made into a simple tea and put into these jars while still simmering, then refrigerated. They were strained with a 200 micron filter but are still murky 90% up to the top when settled, the rest is a yellowish oily substance at the top.
My first instinct as a grower on an interlude is to pop out the ol' PC and pasteurize the contents of the jars, but I don't really have too much experience with making long lasting solutions for concentrates so I don't have much of a plan after that. Not quite sure how to proceed from here. I was thinking of reducing the tea a bit further and making it into a alcohol solution or, if feasible, isolate the Psilocybin crystals.
I also have access to gallons of raw honey. I know that honey can be used as a storing solution for mushrooms but I'm not sure that can necessarily be applied in this case..
I need to have it stored in a form that would last for years as I don't intend on consuming or giving out nearly this much anytime soon.
Any Thoughts?

From what I understand its most stable form is just as dry mushrooms. Oxygen absorbers and refrigerated should last years.
I know nothing of the shelf life once they're in water. Or how to further concentrate it into various forms you spoke of.
Making a tea is really the stage of actually consuming it and desiring the different effects intensity/lengths vs. consuming dry by ingestion.
I've come across some people trying to get it crystalized and the consensus on that thread was that it's a lot of chemistry and know-how. Whereas dry whole mushrooms do 95%+ without doing anything. I mean a sealed container and a dry dark place is all you need.
Seeing as how you're sort of past that uh... hopefully you get some feedback about how to proceed from where you're at.

It's already in water(I'm guessing) freeze it and use as a tea. You won't be able to do much else unless it's in an ethanol solution

Yes, I know these jars don't have a long shelf life in their current water based solution and that mushroom tea is generally made right before consumption. I wouldn't have put this amount into a simple water based tea, but that's half the reason it was given to me. The person who gave me the tea made the rest of the batch into an alcohol based concentrate that worked much better. I'm just trying to salvage the goodness that is inside these jars.
There's gotta be some obscure TEK that can be applied here, I'd feel absolutely awful dumping out a pound of ground up mushrooms in water. This is just my attempt at correcting a mistake, as I mentioned previously, I would not have brewed 1lb of mushrooms into a simple water based tea. But that's what I have to work with. Please try to think and ask around for a TEK I might be able to use to salvage this LB. Thanks guys!

Mushrooms taste good on Wheat Seed which you can buy a huge bag for a good price at Whole Foods and it's organic. Helps to get a bucket and add some water to the seeds for a day or two, then drain the water and bag or jar then, put it in the sterilizer and cook for a 2 hours roughly.

A bit late but maybe add sugar till it's syrup.
I added fresh mushrooms to honey which pulled water into the honey. Although I've read people have kept this watery honey up to a year, I decided to add sugar to bring it back to a syrup consistency and prevent fermentation.
