Yep, this will go into anaerobic decomposition (ROT) but I think it
takes longer than a week to get to that stage. If you leave it in a
bag very long and your "liquified putrification" is a most apt term as
I have done that, too.

Heck, it gets hot and putrefies right on the ground when you use it as much.
Don't step on it, yech! I don't know if it would hurt anything, but after I
spread it, I pull it back a couple inches or so from tree trunks and plants.

Like I said to the OP, if it is a thick enough layer of fresh
clippings, it could prosper anaerobic conditions, which will present
pathogens which could cause molds and fungi, and not the beneficial
type.
