They are called Mamatus Clouds.

I looked up what you call Mamatus Clouds and this is what I read:
Mammatus clouds are a very dangerous subcategory of cumulonimbus clouds. A cumulonimbus mammatus cloud is a very dark grey, with a wavy underside rather than the flat bottom of a standard cumulonimbus. This rippled bottom indicates the very high levels of turbulence and possibility of tornadoes, microbursts, lightning, and hail in and near the cloud. `THEY WERE NOT DARK GREY THEY WERE WHITE WHITE VERY PUFFY AND FLUFFY. NOT CONTIGUOUS, They are separate puffs. The middle pic shows the SUN shining through them, one can see the Sun's rays.

This is a good question to ask Devorah at Shirat Devorah blog. She knows much about these strange clouds and different formations that we're not used to seeing.

The word mammatus was derived from the Latin term “mamma,” meaning breast or udder.
