For Australia? Almost definitely no as the science just isn't there.
Even very large and obvious mushrooms here remain unnamed and/or in
taxonomic flux. I'd love to hear otherwise, but I've only ever seen a
couple of okay guides for Australian fungi. Bruce Fuhrer's "A field
guide to Australian Fungi" is one and the other is restricted to the
fungi of the south-west.

I suspect this is an topic where the best guides, going forward, are
going to be electronic only. There are a couple of okay Web sites for
Australian mushrooms.

If you're looking for a great field guide for mushrooms, David Arora's
"Mushrooms Demystified" is peerless. It's for North America but a lof
the information on families and so on applies here as well.
