I havent got a clue about chemicals etc but thought I would share this to see what you think. I live in France amongst vineyards and keep free range chickens who frequently go into the vineyards. Tonight I shut them up in the dark and cracked an egg which I then threw on the floor (mainly because I was cross with myself as I only get one a day!) but then a weird thing happened. It glowed in the dark in patches on the floor. It was pitch black so I couldnt see without a torch but I could clearly see where the broken egg splattered with a green luminous glow. By the time I had walked a few yards to the compost and back it had dimmed considerably and then disappeared.
Any ideas what could have caused this? I did a quick search and came up with a possible connection with Zinc sulphate.

I'm going to assume it was a trick of the light -- there was a light source somewhere, someone else's torch (called a flashlight on this side of the pond) or the moon, or something.  Most typical phosphors, diluted well with opaque egg contents, wouldn't show up under even the best conditions.  Alternatively, yu may have seen something called 'foxfire' -- the hyphae of a luminescent fungus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxfire
