A low altitude detonation or a groundburst will cause a crater to form. Nuclear detonations that take place near the ground (but not underground) will create a mushroom cloud (this is caused by a Raleigh-Taylor instability). I have noted that a lower level detonation close to the ground will suck up material into the fireball and create a more pronounced stem.
