Adobe Photoshop Elements used to group similar photos together. I do not know if it still does. I have not used it in years. If it does, you could then decide which ones you wanted to delete.

Wow!Those photos are sharp!
That is a heavy lens to hand hold. I have to use a monopod with mine.
Well done!

This is one of the reasons I don't go to Starbucks. I don't speak their language. This clip was done by workers at Samuel's in Rhinebeck, NY, a coffee shop owned by actors Paul Rudd and Jeffrey Dean Anderson (Walking Dead).

I tried Starbucks coffee once.
It was the worst coffee I had ever had. 😫
I don't think I'll ever have the courage to try another.

Usually the colour code for wires is:
Black power (hot)
White neutral
Red* switched
Green ground
Bare conductor is also ground
* In a 240 V circuit, the red conductor is often the second "hot" wire.

I use a Canon 60D with Sigma Contemporary lenses. I have found it to be a very capable camera. My go to lens is the Sigma 18-250 Contemporary lens.
The lenses used are probably more important than the camera. A beginning photographer can learn a lot with this camera and produce some very good photos.
Be aware it is a crop sensor camera so it stretches the telephoto effects of a lens but for wide angle shots, you will need a slightly shorter focal length. Multiply the focal length used by 1.6 to get the full frame equivalent.
Being a crop sensor camera, it is a little weak in low light conditions making noise more of an issue but modern post processing software can compensate for that.
The time to look for the latest top of the line camera is when you yurn pro, not when you are just beginning. (UNLESS: you have very deep pockets!)

How do you tell the difference between poisonous and edible?
There is no simple test or method of determining the edibility of a mushroom.
The only sure method is to identify the specie of mushroom. There are several different structural factors that can be considered: gill attachment and spacing, gill colour, cap shape and colour stipe (stem) properties, the presence or absence of a vulva or bulb at the base of the stipe, microscopic examination of the size and shape of the spores.
It sounds difficult but as you get into it, the morphology of mushrooms becomes as familiar as that of a strawberry plant. If you are interested in this hobby, I suggest you obtain a few books on the subject. Don't rely on just one book. Consult several by different authors. There are a couple of apps that claim they can identify mushrooms from a photo. While some are easily identified from a photo, such as the shaggy manes in this post, others are not so easily identified. If you are planning to eat what you identify, be very careful. Some mistakes can result in an excruciatingly painful death! I don't want to sound discouraging so I will say there are a few common and easily identified edible mushrooms. Shaggy manes are one of the "fool-proof four."

I started using Ccleaner many years ago. It was recommended then as one of the safer utilities of this type.I have never had a problem with it.
