Passing some kind of tissuey-ish thing with stool?

For the past year and a half now, every few weeks when I do a number two, with the stool will come kind of whiteish/semi-light browish 'tissue' that floats around, separate from the stool. And it puzzles me as to what it is. It's not slippery or jelly-like as mucus usually is, it's not particularly stringy, and from what I can tell it's completely bloodless. And I have no idea as to what it could possibly be.

The paranoid side of me thinks it may be shreds of intestinal line/tissue, but from about everything I can find online, that's more or less a medical impossibility and/or completely unheard of. And there's zero pain in my gut, which if one were shedding large chunks of tissue you'd think there would be. It doesn't look feel like mucus (though when it dries, it dries to pretty much just a super thin rigid sheet of almost glass-like quality kind of like mucus does?), and it doesn't look like stringy stuff like pictures of yeast candida I've seen does...but...I'm out of ideas....
