If you have any hallucinations at all, you're not microdosing. Microdosing is right before the tipping point of recognizing you took something at all. It should be recognizable from long-term effects, not immediately.

I wonder if there is more data about this.

A while ago I've microdosed 1 to 2g of fresh truffles(which should not induce a trip), a few days/weeks after a real trip, and I had some hallucinations, which should not have happened

IDK, is it possible that a microdose could trigger some kind of a release of a previous buildup of some hallucinogens?

Doses seem to accumulate, that’s why you need days off, too, and they recommend not to mix macro and micro doses. I’ve read somewhere that after a big dose you should wait ~1 month for the effects to wean.
from lots of experience, yes it can
Micro dosing (as the name suggests) is more about the input dose, than the output results
Not really, it is about achieving some effect with a specific dose. The effect is about some improvements in your life without tripping. If you're tripping, you're not microdosing.
