We live in a heavily wooded area, and every spring, immediately after the yellow pine pollen stops, a sea foam green pollen starts.

It also collects in corners on the porch is "dust bunny" style clumps.

I see the pollen pods the OP refers to in many places that don't have bald cypress trees, but can't say I've noted what tree variety they are falling from. But I don't think it's those one.

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's oak that has that green color. Maybe pecan as well?

Yeah, may be oak. We don't have any bald cypress close enough. And the screened in porch is always quite a sight....those big sea foam green clumps gather up like nothing I've ever seen.

I have a 20yo White Oak in my front yard. I washed my truck this morning and it's already got a light coating.
