Your gonna have to elaborate a bit what are you doing with the bucket? Trying to grow in it or trying to pasteurize?

I'm thinking of using 5 gal buckets to grow oyster mushrooms and am trying to figure how much spawned substrate will go in it and also, if possible, how much dry straw that will be?
thank you

I just finished an oyster grow in buckets which worked out pretty well but you'll just have to eye up the straw maybe pack it in the bucket dry before pasteurization just to get a general idea of how much you'll need i used 2quarts of spawn per bucket and everything came out beautifully also I did a cold pasteurization of the straw which seemed to work very well for the oysters I'll upload a few pics in a minute

You can probably fit an ice box full. Just layer the spawn and stuff it in tight AF.

thanx a lot for the answer
I'm asking these question because I'm writing a paper about small mushroom production so I need to figure out how much dry substrate for (then wet spawned) to a 5 gal bucket.
I need to project yield and income
that's why i need to know a weight of substrate needed, but I know that might be hard to guess if one just eyeballs it

Take a 5 gallon bucket, and stuff it tight with dry straw. Weigh it all, then hydrate and pasteurize. Straw doesn't really increase or decrease in size. Packed straw is packed straw haha. Weigh again wet, and then layer the straw and spawn. Stuff it tight AF. Done.
