Expert Response
My guess is your zucchini has some kind of virus, possibly zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV). I'd have to look at other parts of the plant to give a better opinion. Most of these viruses are transferred by aphids.
While I don't think eating this will harm you, it probably won't taste good. Read here about ZYMV and other viruses:
