Pileus clouds?
They are amazing and are an indication of air rising very quickly through the atmosphere.
They are usually indicators of severe weather above a cumulonimbus. But explosive volcanic eruptions do a similar job.

They typically look more like this, above a developing thunderstorm or cumulonimbus.
Blink and you miss them though. They are often transient and become engulfed by the rising cumulus below.
