Isn't a bunch of it from fallen plant matter before decomp bacteria/fungus became thing too?

I think that is coal. Almost all the coal in the world was made between 300 and 360 million years ago, between the times that the right plants showed up for coal production and the bacteria showed up to break them down too fast.

Yeah, that’s what coal is IIRC.
