If you don't mind that they overcook then it's fine. You can roast anything together.
If you want to do them in layers, roast the carrot halfway, then add the zucchini and mushrooms, and add the green beans last.

You can do anything together theoretically but as ra_mom posted, it is best to keep like veggies together because of cooking times so root veggies roast together and more watery veggies like zucchini and tomatoes are typically partnered.

Think of it this way - if you are making a stew or a soup, you add potatoes, carrots, parsnips first and then towards the end you would add strignbeans or other greener veggies with a shorter cooking time.
I roast my string beans separately with a Szechuan twist :-)
