It was the first person who DIDN'T die after eating a shroom. Seriously, people could just watch animals to see which ones ate mushrooms and lived.

Good grief. Try to imagine for a moment that humans have been eating for far longer than we have been writing things down. . .

We have been eating mushrooms as long as we were in the genus Homo and before so there wasn't a "first" person. Maybe there was a first primate, some lemur like thing but you have to go back many 10s of millions of years.

Mycophagy, the act of consuming mushrooms, dates back to ancient times. Edible mushroom species have been found in association with 13,000-year-old archaeological sites in Chile.

The one that didn't die, I guess.

Trial and error back when we were nomads

Wasn't the first person - it was the second.

The wife of the husband that ate the wrong one. Remember, we are the hunters, women are gatherers.

I don't know, but it was probably some fool with a death wish, or looking to get high. One thing is certain, he's dead by now.
