Cochemiea goodrichii has deep taproots and rarely sprouts. Its globose to short cylindrical shoots grow up to 8 cm (3.1 in) high and 3 to 4 cm (1.2 to 1.6 in) in diameter.

The cream-colored, funnel-shaped flowers have central stripes and are up to 1.5 cm (0.59 in) long and in diameter. The red fruits are club-shaped and up to 2.5 cm (0.98 in) long, containing smooth black seeds. [2]
