No and neither was my mushroom book.
I made a bad decision once, never again.

Don't give up, it happens to most wild mushroom foragers occasionally,
just make sure you can identify the seriously poisonous ones such as the
Aminitas.

This may come across offensively, but I need to be explicit.

Frankly, unless she is prepared to take advice from the informed,
she is better giving up. And that advice is uniformly that it is
CRITICAL to go out at least a couple of times with someone who
knows a reasonable amount to learn what the various characteristics
look like in real life. It also is that pictures are NOT ENOUGH,
and it is essential to learn the basics of descriptions, and to
use pictures merely as a search aid.
