Many nuclear detonations will create a mushroom cloud (especially near the ground due to material from the ground being sucked up into the vacuum created by the explosion, thus forming a large part of the "stem" of the cloud) and if they are near the ground, will create at least a small crater, but it sounds like you are talking about a groundburst detonation (as opposed to an airburst). These types of explosions carry more radioactive debris from the ground into the air and generate a lot of fallout due to the irradiated debris from the explosion.

Type of nuclear detonation creates Hugh crater mushroom cloud?
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.
What is IN the middle of the sun?
A huge pool of Lava that creates the center. To get to the core you have to go through millions of layers of Lava Rock, basically , don't try and land on the sun becasue you would never survive!
