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.
