In that context, a cloche is a kind of casserole dish with a shallow pan and
a bell-shaped cover. Mushrooms sous cloches are mushrooms which have been
cooked in one of those dishes, typically with butter, salt, and thyme.

I wonder how this "cloche" description relates to hats that are called
"cloches"? The hats do somewhat rather look like mushrooms, I suppose
<g>. Instead of thyme, how well would tarragon would work? Just some
curious mind-wanderings of mine

Sky, who does not like any sort of edible fungi!

"Cloche" means "bell." Both the hats and the lids of the casserole dishes
are bell-shaped.

If you like tarragon, then using tarragon in the casserole would work fine.
