English: For decades this image was commonly misidentified as the mushroom cloud of the Little Boy bomb that formed around 8:15 AM local time. However due to its greater height and the wholly different time of day, it is a pyrocumulus* cloud that occurs frequently over firestorms.
The mushroom cloud was about 67 km (42 mi) high [48] (nearly eight times the height of Mount Everest), which meant that the cloud was above the stratosphere and well inside the mesosphere when it peaked. The cap of the mushroom cloud had a peak width of 95 km (59 mi) and its base was 40 km (25 mi) wide. [49] A Soviet cameraman said:
Nancy Baker Cahill's augmented reality public art work, which launches on Monday of Frieze Week, depicts a mushroom cloud — 'the ultimate symbol of human-caused cataclysm.'
A drawing on the lower side of the sporocarp of G. applanatum. A peculiarity of this fungus lies in its use as a drawing medium for artists.

A pileus (/ ˈ p aɪ l i ə s /; Latin for 'cap'), also called scarf cloud or cap cloud, is a small, horizontal, lenticular cloud appearing above a cumulus or cumulonimbus cloud. Pileus clouds are often short-lived, appearing for typically only a few minutes, [ 1 ] with the main cloud beneath them rising through convection to absorb them.
