The darkness is from the spores. To get the darker colour you need darker looking mushrooms.
Or are you meaning browning them when cooking? If so then cook first uncovered to release evaporate the water and allow them to brown rather then stew in their own juices.

Or use gravy browning to colour them up.I have a bottle of this in my pantry (lasts for years) and use when gravy a bit pale, mushrooms etc and can also be used in fruit cakes when cooking in the microwave...makes them look like they are out of the oven.
No odour, no taste....just colour.....great stuff
