Yes, but mold may still continue growing with less moisture than what it takes to germinate mold spores(about 60% RH). Mold also tends to release more spores as it dries out which aids in "spreading the colony" so to speak. This is one of the reasons a removal or cleaning of mold is recommended along with preventing the moisture which caused it to grow in the first place. Moisture prevention is #1 but cleaning is also beneficial, especially to those few who may have allergic reactions to the mold.

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.
