 outdoor with grass cuttings

i'm about to set it up outdoors and plan on using grass cuttings as a substitute for other types of hay.
has anyone tried this, you know, your typical lawn grass cuttings, probably kentucky blue and some sort of fescue mixed in, along with i'm sure some dandelions and clover (small percentage weeds).
i figure as long as it's pasteurized, hay is hay, is it not?

yeah, i'm not going to pasteurize, just use the grass clippings straight off my compost.
i believe i will mix in a little manure, it could only help.
i will give a full report as the process continues.
thanks.

i'd personally dry them out first. composting grass clippings give off alot of heat. maybe compost them first, because you are doing it outside, and bacteria will be introduced. may help make them more selective to mushrooms. What are using for spawn?
