You will not find mold in a dry environment because in order for mold to grow, it has to be moist, room temperature, and it can grow in light or dark. Try this experiment:

Take two jars and put 30ml of water into one and leave the other without water. now put half a slice of bread in each. Also put some type of fruit slices in each also. Put them both side by side either in a dark cabinet or on a windowsill. Watch and observe what happens for about a week. Does the dry bread mold? You will have to find out by doing the experiment!:]

How long does it take for mold to grow on a croissant?

Mold will grow on anything, it depends on the way you store it. You can get mold to grow rather quicly on anything given the right conditions. Store your unused coffee in a cool dry place, or freeze it, and I doubt mold will ever grow. use the grinds before the falvor fades from the grinds, making them usefleess to any real coffee lover. Mold requires moisture, mold spores. mold food, and the correct temperature to grow. Take any of these away and you will not be able to grow mold. So keep the coffee grinds in a cool dry place and never worry about mold.
