What Causes Greenish Brown Mucus In The Stools?

Hello,

For a little under a week now I have been having a green mucoid, usually with a patch of redish-brown in the middle, glob being secreted from my anus during bowel movements or when I pass gas. This has never occured before so I am wondering what it could be, what is is causing it, if it is related to my menstration cycle just ending, or if it serious.
