Considering copper compounds make very good fungicides (down to
the ppm level) I think it would be a safe bet to say its not
growing in there :)

The green is obviously due to copper compounds, some form(s) of
copper chlorides. Add some conc. HCl until the green sludge is no
longer green, this will dissolve any copper hydroxide and bring
it back to life.
