It is an annual, part of the tinder family. Found everywhere. Likes to grow on fallen trees, dead wood of deciduous trees (prefers aspen, birch, alder). Some specimens were also found on dead wood of conifers.
Also, Ceriporiopsis felt-girdled can grow well on the basidiomas of dead true tinder fungi. It is considered one of the earliest species among the tinder fungi.
The fruit body is flat, the caps are in their infancy. The shape is round, many specimens merge into one mass. The surface of the bodies is very smooth, the pores of the fungus are small. Color – cream, may be olive or yellow. In dry weather, the surface acquires a straw or cream color.

Body thickness – up to about 5 mm.
On trees, the appearance of Ceriporiopsis felt-girdled can cause white rot of wood.
