Detailed Answer:
The most likely explanation is that this is indeed mucus. The large intestine secretes a large amount of fluid daily, and sometimes this congeals as mucus. Other possibilities include hemorrhoids or infection. The first step to determining what this is would be to visit a doctor in-person for a rectal examination. If you have been having anal sex, I would immediately stop.
