Your question is pretty much unanswerable since no one knows the extent of the leak, how much water was introduced into the ceiling cavity, and if you have, indeed, sealed all of it up.
One thing is certain, mold and fungus will not grow without the correct moisture level or humidity. If you can put some ventilation into the cabin, you should be able to lower the moisture level, no matter how high it was. Kill off any visible mold with diluted bleach water and continue to observe.
Since there was a known leak, this might be a good candidate for a pressurized leak test. The pressure test will turn up even a pinhole leak.
