First off, don't stress yet. If it's a one time thing I would keep an eye on it. Does she act like she's in pain? Has she seemed to be losing weight? Is she gaining weight? Does she seem satisfied after eating? One thing I've learned...baby poop is weird. Sounds funny...but it's true. I've seen some weird colors in my four month old son...I've been surprised. If her next BM appears that way then I would call the doctor and get an opinion. It could be just a one time weird occurence. If she's not acting like she's in pain I don't know that it would be a digestive issue. I take it that since you noticed the mucous that it might have been diarrhea? If so, make sure she's staying hydrated. The best advice I can offer for right now is to keep an eye on her, and her stools, and if it stays the same or she appears to be losing weight, dehyrdrated, or in any pain, then go to the doctor. I hope that helps.
