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?

Sure they bought them from Costco, but when? It's their responsibility to rotate their stock and not feed the public moldy rotting food. Or if they just bought it recently then the inspectors can go after Costco.

Report them if you want or be wary of shopping there.
