Geko tried this method & this is how it worked, This is how it was dreamed. Dry Shrooms were crushed to a rough powder, Then ethanol was added ,Just enough to cover the shroom mass, Simmerd on low heat(electric element) for tem min's and fillterd, And repeated one more time with half the amount of ethanol & filterd once again. Then the two alky extracts were both combined and filterd through fine filtration , Then reduced by 2 therds. Then after placing in the freezer, A quater the amount of water was added and geko colud instancly see the white crystals crashing out.
Now all geko dose is put 2-3 eye droppers worth of the white crystals in with some bourbon & coke and dowdend, AAWWWWWW. Not to bad, And it hit ya in like 5-10 mins. No upset tumy feeling and a nice high as a mother fucker feeling, YYEE HHEEEEEEEE

I suggest ditching the mortar and pestle and getting something like a coffee grinder. WAY less effort.
I used to use a mortar and pestle to grind up my shrooms before putting them in my cap-m-quik, and it took forever. Now I have one of these magic bullets (although I only paid $19 for it at kmart, no way I would pay $59). I can fill up a big container (perhaps 50 dry grams) and completely powder it all in 15 seconds.

The ones in the picture are size "00", which isn't really all that big. I eat them all the time. They are the typical size you would expect some sort of herbal supplement to come in.
They are a really convenient way to dose. You can just bring a bunch of them out with you wherever you want and take them with minimal fuss. I have no trouble swallowing them, even without water.
The only downside is that the capsules can take a long time to dissolve in your stomach, adding maybe 45 minutes on to the wait time before shit kicks in. To avoid that you can open them up and dump them into a drink. Still more portable than carrying around a bunch of whole mushrooms.

Just a thought, you can buy oxygen absorbing tablets for packing stuff that will oxidise.
If you know you're going to be storing them for a while, maybe you could dropper the extract onto blotter and then bag up the sheets in zippy bags (impulse sealed baggies if you want to get really stylish) with an 02 absorbing tablet in with them.
Examples of O2 scavengers and indicators
I like the jelly idea though, that's pretty inventive. You can dissolve alcohol into jelly quite easily, so you should be able to get the extract into it.
Maybe you could combine the jelly and paper idea? Make up an enhanced jelly mix and then dropper a film of it onto the tabs.
You can buy gelatin at the super market. I wouldn't use flavoured stuff since it'll be full of sugars and things that'll just attract mould. Pure gelatin sheets should last longer, but it'd still be worth testing this idea (make some up and leave it out to see what happens) prior to using your extract up. Since you're no longer growing the strain, maybe you could add something to deter contamination.
Perhaps you could crystalise the extract and then combine it with some form of food additive that functions as an antioxidant?

Geko just sticks to 3 full eyedropper's worth and thats gets ya head tingiling lmol. But anyway, Geko tried the following.
Shrooachol(shroom alcahol,Ethanol+shroom extract)was evapoated to near complete dryness just by leaving it to evapoate off be its self,Because to much heat near the end of evapoating will burn the extract and turn it dark brown, Almost black.
Anyway the shroomachol was nearly completly dry ,And then depending on how much extract ya have depends on how much geletin to add along with water.
Sticking to directions on the gelatin packet it was done like this.
Altogether 500mls of water was used, This make it easyer to work with.
Geletin was disolved in a minamal amount of warm water,Whitch was 100mls of water. And then before it cooled down to much the the other 400mls of water with the disolved/diluted shroom extract was added and vigorsly stird untill all was disolved, And then place on an ice bathto watch it set the the right consistancy to work with.
Then all geko did was use a big ass spore syring with a fine needle,(clean one of course)And injected the shroom gelly into empty cod liver oil capsules untill full.
Ffeewwwwwww, So far that as far as geko has gotten because geko has to be the gunie pig to test for dosses.
They were only filled enough so that the shroom jelly dident leak back out, But geko put them all in a jar a placed them in the fridge and let the set properly.
Not to much work invlolved either. Most of the time was wating for the shroomachol to evapoate and geting the right gelly consistancy to work with while it was sitting on an ice bath. (A bowl sitting in ice) Now geko is exploring wasys to seal the capsules.
So thats it for now, And geko will be back with more updates.

did you think about adding less water and gelatin, to maintain the purification? presumably each jelly-filled capsule only contains about a half a ml of final jelly, if that. so how many grams of dry shroom powder were in the 'extract' when it was finally massively expanded out to 500ml? hopefully at least 1000g, making one gram per gelly capsule, and thus a final dosing formulation of 1-6 capsules for a strong-to-intense gradation. if the fungus powder was much less, you're gonna end up with the opposite of an extraction, but a mouthful of jelly and crunchy gelatin capsules.
what were the numbers?

The extract was from 320gms of dry Ps Subaerginosa.
