Mucus is a slippery secretion of the lining of various membranes in the body (mucous membranes). It is a viscous colloid containing antiseptic enzymes (such as lysozyme) and immunoglobulins. Mucus is produced by goblet cells in the mucous membranes that cover the surfaces of the membranes. It is made up of mucins and inorganic salts suspended in water. Phlegm is a type of mucus that is restricted to the respiratory tract, while the term mucus refers to secretions of the nasal passages as well.
Boogers are what's left when the mucus, dirt and other debris dry and clump together. Boogers can be squishy and slimy or tough and crumbly.
It is rolled to reduce the stickiness and the sliminess so if the person is about to throw it, it wont stick to your finger.

Aerodynamics and ballistics.
For the record, nobody throws boogers. You flick them. The acceleration is faster with flicking, similar to a golf ball hit by a driver.

It's needed to find the center of gravity before it is thrown.

Best method: Pick up tissue. Hold tissue to nose. Forcefully blow air out nose, expelling mucus. Wipe nose. Place tissue in trash can.

You want to ensure it isn't stringy when released for flight.
If it's still too sticky, it will stretch, then come back onto your finger.
