Mushroom cloud as the shape resembles an ever growing mushroom.

Note that this cloud is in no way unique to nuclear explosions, it is produced by all explosions. The degree and duration of the phenomena is directly proportional to yield, as nuclear explosions have yields several orders of magnitude higher than conventional explosions their mushroom clouds are orders of magnitude more dramatic and memorable.
