I'd leave it since you only have 1 pup on mother.

You are lucky you only have one pup. If I were you I'd leave it alone. I usually leave one to 3 pups to mom to perpetuate the fruiting stage.
I am not an expert but I don't think pups delay the fruiting stage of the mom. The fruiting stage is set I think in their DNA when. But I think the environmental temperature and plant nutrition delay the fruiting stage.
