| I've been after this too, of course!
I tried putting everclear extract into warm honey, and kept stirring it until I guesstimated that the alcohol was pretty much gone. At room temp, it was a creamy-whitish, opaque solid. Looked more like butter, actually. I think it might have been partly caused by unfiltered mushroom solids in the everclear, but it looked like it was going to work great when I added the extract but before the alcohol had evaporated. Not very appetizing, either. I'm not ruling it out as doable, but it didn't look promising.
A different strategy I'd pursued was packaging the honey paste into a container of something weird or ambiguous; I've filled empty jars of Royal Jelly with the mush honey since most people (esp. cops) don't know what the hell "Royal Jelly" is, and it frankly sounds kind of gross. One airport screener asked a friend about his weird looking "Royal Jelly" and he proceeded to act very excited about a chance to explain all the arcane details of beekeeping (in other words, he had a "geek moment"). The screener rolled their eyes and urged him along, not wanting a Discovery Channel lecture to hold up the line at the metal detector.
Making the honey at your final destination might be an option, and a way to carry dried mushies I like is to first carefully open a new box of cereal, making sure to avoid tearing or damaging the box at all, crunch up some dry fungi (don't smash 'em up too small, maybe corn-flake size), put them in the bag the original cereal came in (if the right type) or a new heat-sealable bag and seal it. Put the sealed bag in the cereal box and carefully re-glue the box tops and put it in a local supermarket grocery bag with some other new stuff. A Foodsaver can seal the bag, or use an impulse bag sealer. The grocery bag could contain all the rest of the ingredients.
My craziest idea is to make lemon lollipops, using everclear extract and lemon juice in a regular hard-candy recipe by heating the sugar solution until the alcohol is gone, then pouring it into molds to make psychedelic suckers. Those might backfire, however, as they look like you were trying to dose the kiddies so I'd use X-rated lollipop molds if I ever get this to work. |
