This is likely to depend on the specific subject area that you are working in. I minimally report F-values and their degrees of freedom plus the p-value in applied biology. This is sometimes complemented by reporting the parameter estimates (and either their estimated standard error or a confidence interval) or by a figure including the model fit. Mostly, the random effects are described in the methods section as how they reflect experimental design but often no specific details are reported.
