What Causes A Brown String In The Stool?

Long reddish brown string, maybe 8 inches in my stool while I was flushing the toilette. The feces came out like a blast and there was gas, with a little mucus. I'm not sure if I should get this checked out or not. Is there any indication this might be serious? Never seen this before!

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is all depends upon what was it, is this is the worm then it is nothing to worry and even anything else it is not be worried, let me inform you that most of the time the color and consistency of stool is due to the diet taken, if you want to clear the doubt then it has to be sent for lab examination hope this information helps.
