Simple Spanning Tree Question

Hi Guys

Im a bit confused:

Rack1SW1#sh spanning-tree vlan 10

VLAN0010
  Spanning tree enabled protocol ieee
  Root ID Priority 24586
             Address 0019.307b.0f80
             This bridge is the root
             Hello Time 2 sec Max Age 20 sec Forward Delay 15 sec

  Bridge ID Priority 24586 (priority 24576 sys-id-ext 10)
             Address 0019.307b.0f80
             Hello Time 2 sec Max Age 20 sec Forward Delay 15 sec
             Aging Time 300

If this bridge is the root, when I do sh mac-address-table
address 0019.307b.0f80

should I not see this as a local address?

Im sure in the past I have been on a non-root switch and traced this mac all
they way back to the root.
Now whichever switch I check in the topology they list this mac as the root
in show spanning-tree output but cannot see it in the mac table.

Im obviously missing something simple here. Any help?

Thanks
