This is my first attempt to grow. I used a grow bag, everything was fine until I putted it in the substrate. I pasteurized the substrate 3 hours at 170 in the oven. But now it looks like mold is forming. What could I do to save it and make sure it fruits. I sprayed with some peroxide hydrogène, it seems to dry out but it came back. Thanks.

That's a bad case of green mold. I'd toss it quickly before it contaminates the whole grow space. (It probably already did.)
Throw that out and clean up *throughly* in the whole space.
What substrate and spawn did you use? Did you start with a print or syringe?

I had a live culture syringe and a grow bag. It did not seem to be contaminated in the bag. Then I used 50% Coir + 25% vermiculite + 20 % worm casting + 5 % spent coffee and a few spoon of gypsum. I used tap water for pasteurization.

Get rid of that now and as said before clean throughly.... can’t stress that enough!!! Personally I would do without the coffee and worm castings. Shit try straight coir next time , but I’d be willing to bet If it didn’t show signs of that before substrate because that shit will Move fast as fuck then I would say you problems lies in something you did at that point!!!

Yeah it’s beyond saving. Hydrogen peroxide won’t help anything
I agree stick to coir and verm next time.
Idk about worm castings but coffee grounds contaminate very easily.

Coffee grounds *always* gave me green mold. I avoid it like the plague. I totally get that some people had success with it, it looks like it's just me, and well, some other growers might be affected by the curse of the coffee grounds as well 
I just do coir with a bit of gypsum. Sometimes I forget adding gypsum too and things go just fine.
Keep it simple.
Better luck next time.

You pasteurized at way too high of a temp. And if you used coffee grounds it’s a recipe for disaster. Next time keep it at 140 and no higher than 160 and leave out the coffee.
If they’re cubes you’re probably fucked, but let it sit and you may still get some fruits. If you need more spores I got you, but they’re prints so you’ll have to get hip to agar work. Consistent mushroom cultivation cannot be accomplished without working with agar, sorry

Yeah, coffee grounds suck for cubes. Never gave me anything but problems.
