I agree, John. Imho we are having fossil oil and coal only because  
when the giant trees covered the earth, there were no fungus around  
who could break down the lignin - so they whre piling up hundreds of  
meters, and when they got folded in by some geological event and  
received pressure etc., they turned into coal/oil - fungi came after  
the lignious trees, I understand. I might be wrong tho.
