Is my avocado still good?

My mom bought an avocado a couple of weeks ago and stuck it in the fridge as a treat for her pet sugar glider, but never used it. I finally decided to claim it for my own and make some guacamole, but the inside has some brown stringy streaks in it. Is it still okay to eat? Will it taste bad? I tried tasting some of the fruit but it doesn't really taste like anything on its own.

Also, what are those brown strings? Is the avocado starting to grow or something? They appear to be coming from the rough spot where the fruit was attached to the tree.

Thanks!

    The texture of the avocado tends to get a bit stringy as it ripens past it's prime. Some people don't like the texture of it, but as long as the flesh itself is a healthy looking green, it's still perfectly edible.
