Resumen:
Capronia capucina is known from two different sites of the Andean Patagonian forest of Argentina, associated with Nothofagacea bark of living trees. It is saprophytic on bark of Lophozonia alpina and Nothofagus antarctica. These plants are endemic from the Argentinean and Chilean Patagonian forests from 34 up to 56 degrees of south latitude, in areas with temperate to cold climate with high humidity, strong westerly winds and frequent snowfall. It is expected that the fungus occurs along the distribution of the hosts plants, over the 700m asl., and probably in the more humid areas. Each site can potentially host up to 6 individuals.There exists many threats to the habitat where the hosts plants live, as fires, use of the forest land for housing installations and for livestock, extraction of wood and soil, anthropic use for recreation activities and tourism.
