Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

I have a friend who was in Yosemite National Park on Federal land and a Park Ranger stopped & told him/her to come out of the tent after smelling marijuana. He asked for the marijuana and he/she gave it to the Ranger. The Ranger threatened to lock the tent overnight until a warrant was to be provided to search the tent unless he/she gave the Ranger permission to search the tent. Permission was then given to search the tent & the Ranger found a cap and part of a stem of a psilocybin mushroom in his/her backpack. This was less than 1.0 grams. He/she is a 16-year old minor. He/she told the Ranger that the illegal substances belonged to his/her 19-year old friend. They are now both supposed to show up in court near or in Yosemite. What legal actions should be taken to mitigate the negative consequences of these possession charges?
