If you see white or blue or if you smell anything musty, then get rid of it. Most types of green are good though.

Is the Spagnum Moss in the Water? I have thinking if it was green couldn’t there be algae growing on it to make it turn green?

Maybe it wasn’t dried very long and some of the spores were still good.

There’s nothing harmful about the live stuff. It wouldn’t even be growing if it didn’t have food, so it’s serving a purpose, actually. Where there’s live moss, you’re less likely to get mold.
You’ve still got to clean out the stuff underneath, or it’ll end up toxic from the frog’s wastes, but you can try to save the living stuff if you like it.
