Those are classic summer afternoon anvil clouds. At the back end of those things is a giant thunderstorm. Nice pictures.

Never knew what they were called, but the ash from Mt. St. Helens eruption in 1980 formed into those mammatus clouds as it was spreading in the air- with lightning between the nodules. They were grayish black. It was pretty impressive.
