Answer
There is absolutely no answer to this question. Unless the pie was backed and left out on the table for a month the mold would be brown/black and not green. Are you sure you bought a pumpkin?

Answer
Leavening . If you used alot of baking powder( sodium BiCarbonate/Sodium Aluminun Phosphate) in your crust the Ph of your filling can react with the leaving to turn it green - In the commerical food industry companies that offer uncooked filled pastrys (espeically blue berry & Cherry filliings)that use chemical leavening ( Baking Powder ) will use a fat or protien encapsulated leavening to stop the leaving action until ready to cook . Swanson Cobblers for instance.
