R. Gordon Wasson was an American banker, mycologist, and ethnobotanist renowned for his pioneering research on the use of mushrooms in various cultures, particularly in Mesoamerica. His works greatly contributed to the understanding of the role of psychoactive mushrooms in religious and cultural practices. Wasson's interest in mushrooms began during his travels, leading to the publication of his influential books, including 'The Wondrous Mushroom' and 'Soma: Divine Mushroom of Immortality', where he explored the connections between fungi and spirituality.
