What are your fenceposts treated with?

I wont be burning them anytime soon, hopefully I'll be able to figure out for sure what they are in the next months.

The green color is what most concerns me, but it is in a wet area so the green could be mold. However, since it is in a wet area I'm really surprised that it has held up so well and that makes me concerned that it is treated.

It does have a strong scent for sure, which surprised me considering how old it is. But I cant tell if it is a natural or chemical scent.

I got some old fenceposts at my recently purchased farmette. I would like to burn them, but not sure if they are safe for burning. Can someone tell me if it is treated lumber? I cut a piece off to see the inside. I included a couple pictures here. So please let me know if you can. Thanks.
