Cericium luteoincrustatum is a waxy and brittle crust fungus with a fruit body that is about 0.2–1 mm thick. Its surface is either smooth or somewhat tuberculate with a pale yellow colour. It has a dimitic hyphal system, without clamp connections in the generative hyphae. The hyphae in the subiculum are arboriform (tree-like); these are binding-type hyphae. Cystidia feature yellowish incrustations at their bases. The spores produced by the fungus are smooth and thin-walled with an ellipsoid shape, and measure about 5 by 3 μm.
