"Colloquial Gaelic preserves other links between mushrooms and the traditional hazelnuts of wisdom, even today. In Irish, we find the phrase caochóg cnó, literally a 'blind nut'—which means a nut without a kernel. Scottish Gaelic, which often preserves older uses of the language than does Irish Gaelic, gives us the words caochag, which means either a nut without a kernel or a mushroom, and caochagach, the state of being full of nuts without kernels or full of mushrooms. Colloquially, the word caochóg is also used in phrases referring to shyness or to winking. To wink is to close one eye and, as we have seen, Celtic sorcery is often performed one-eyed. The linguistic links between nuts, mushrooms, and the one-eyed winking state are intriguing but there is even more definitive evidence.

In the seventh-century Old Irish text known as 'The Cauldron of Poesy,' there is a direct statement that the filidh found inspiration by chewing on the hazelnuts of wisdom. The text explains that poetic inspiration and the gift of poetry originate in three full cauldrons found within the body of the fili. Poetry is said to arise from the experience of sorrow and joy, and one of the divisions of joy experienced by the fili—which leads to imbas, the gift of prophetic vision—is the 'joy of fitting poetic frenzy from grinding away at the fair nuts of the nine hazels on the Well of Segais in the sidhe realm.'

The Middle Irish gloss on this passage offers a very tantalizing item—the phrase bolcc imba fuilgne, 'the bubble which sustains or supports imbas.' One possible translation of the gloss on this phrase is: 'The bubble that sustains imbas is formed by the sun among the plants, and whoever consumes them will have poetry.' In short we have a direct statement that consuming bolcc produces the gift of prophetic vision.

In light of the linguistic link between bolcc, bolg, and mushrooms, it is not hard to read these phrases as statements that some type of mushroom was chewed to sustain poetic inspiration. The fact that imbas, the poetic inspiration or poetic frenzy of the Irish, is frequently described as a 'fire in the head' also suggests that the most likely mushroom would be A. muscaria. 'Fire in the head' is an excellent term for a signature symptom of A. muscaria inebriation—a pronounced heating of the head, apparently caused by blood rushing to that area."
