What Causes Green Layer On Stools?

I had a strange thing happen to me he other day, I am hoping for some professional feedback. It looked like my poop was wearing a green fuzzy sweater all but a small portion right in the middle was normal. What could this be from? I did have one piece of lime flavored tootsie roll which was green, but that doesn't explain the fuzz. Please help!
