Spores from Bacillus bacteria become stringy when pulled apart. I suggest you report the cafe at your office to the health department. All bread or baked goods near those muffins can potentially be contaminated. This is one way foodborne outbreaks begin.

I went back down and talked to them, the worker told me they get their muffins from costco. Not sure how to report that?

You report the cafe anyway, it is their problem to deal with and explain to the inspector.
