Preheat your oven to 180°C for a regular oven or 160°C for a fan-forced oven
Grease and line a 9x9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper.
In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together using a double boiler or in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sugar and eggs until well combined. Add the melted chocolate-butter mixture and mix well. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
In a medium heat pan melt 20 g of extra butter and sauté mushrooms and walnuts together for 2 minutes or until brown.
Fold in the finely chopped Australian mushrooms and chopped walnuts (if using).
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs.
In a small bowl, whisk together the icing sugar, cocoa powder, and enough milk to achieve a smooth, pourable consistency.
Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan before drizzling the cocoa icing over the top.
Once the icing has set, lift the brownies out of the pan using the parchment paper, slice into squares, and serve.
