Cloud variety

Cloud variety
Mammatus (I think) upper left, cumulonimbus below those (the mushroom shape), other cumulus and a lot of altostratus and stratocumulus throughout. Other more specific features, but I'm not sure what they're called. The naming hierarchy of clouds is complicated and I wish I knew a lot more.
