alright cultivate a casing make it a nice meat cube casing nice and square then shove it half way into a metal spike or wooden. do normal thing you do with casing and what not. Then ones the mushrooms have grown on all sides pick them. Dunk it in water with nutrients in it. That way it can make another flush then you do this till its pooped out. Then turn that in to a casing and do it all over again. If one side grew 4 ounces then all the side should right?
You could make a circle one to and call it mushroom planet. triangle the mushroom triangle many have entered few have returned.

Its basically like a big cake except all side are cultivated and its put on a spike to stay in the air. Then you wet it like a casing then mushrooms should grow out all the sides right. So lets say from a normal casing you get 1 ounce that would mean 1 ounce each side right meaning you would get 6 ounces. It would use allot of energy from the mushrooms growing so put it in nutrient water so it gets all its flavor back then put it back on spike do this till its crapped out. Use the crapped out cube to make another casing even bigger then do the process all over again.

It would not increase your yield 6 fold. Surface area is not the main factor in yield. It's limited amount of nutrients. What you're talking about is basically the hanging cake idea. It's been discussed, I think some people have even tried it. I'm afraid it's not worth the effort, or so say those who have tried it. Just because there's more surface area, does not mean you're going to get pins covering that whole area. I mean.. casing is just more beneficial. That's why everyone recommends casings over cakes, despite cakes offering more surface area.

hhhmmmm I'm getting ready to try it. Use a fishnet with very wide holes put the casing in there then put a trash bag or dark bag over it. ha ha thank you all later

That's right, get creative with it! That's where this hobby is going for me. If all I wanted was shrooms, I'd be casing straw in pans and call it a day. The only thing to consider about your idea is that if you get more pins due to more surface area, the shrooms will probably be smaller. It might not increase the yield. But it WOULD look cool 
I like your idea on shapes as well. a pyramid would be cool. I've been keeping my eye open for intresting molds to use. The bunt pan was one idea, I've seen several cool whole cake pans online. Fill a toy dump truck with substrate, build a mycelium monster, how bout a mycelium (sand) castle?
One crazy idea I had recently, buy a dozen plastic easter eggs. spray the bottom ends with paint. fill tops and bottoms with spawned substrate and snap them together. Let colonize and fruit with tops off in a styrofoam egg carton.
Mycelium colum: using 1x2s or some other cheap wood, build a FC frame from floor to ceiling (or however high you want) with a foot square base. Purchase a 16th inch steel rod from the hardware store and suspend it so that the end just touches the bottom of the FC. Make straw logs, and spear them with the rod like a shiskabob. Wrap frame with clear plastic, and use a Vics cool mist for FAE.
Use ladys nylon stockings, pack them with spawned sub, and mould them into any shape you want. Wrap with plastic to colonize and cut the stocking off (or leave it on it you thought it would fruit that way).
I've got more but they're top secret

its just a varaiation of an already popular idea. Straw logs do pretty much the same thing, except you put them on a wire rack so the shrooms can go through them. No need for a big metal spike either.

Yea, I guess vertical is intuitive with logs, it's just something that popped in my mind. I hadn't really though it out, I bet there would be weight issues with an 8 foot colum. 
Edit: Doh, I see what you're saying now. That would work well.
