PLEASE HELP!! Mold is eating my plants. I’ve been praying with 1-1-1 91% alcohol peroxide and water on the soil. Not over saturating. I’m losing my plants and I’m scared.

I would just change the soil out at this point, even if it’s just the top layer you do or however much is affected

Daily

It shouldn’t be growing daily on fresh soil, maybe it’s an issue with the soil you’re using or your environment has a mold problem. Have you tried getting a different bag or brand of soil in case the soil itself is contaminated? And are you using a chunky mix that has better water-drainage? I’m not sure what plants you have or if that’s suitable for them but it does help keep the soil from being too wet too long.

Treat with a commercial fungicide. Let the soil dry more between waterings. Use a fan to get better air circulation. Give them more light. Keep water off the leaves. Don’t mist. Use a humidifier if the air is too dry.
